In the last one month, home loan interest rates have been on a moderately upward trend, with banks like SBI, Axis Bank, Corporation Bank, etc., hiking the rate by around 0.05 per cent to 0.1 per cent for various tenures. Many banks have come up with the offer of ‘zero processing fees’ on home loans, for a limited period, to attract home buyers. The Indian rupee has also risen against the US dollar in the last one month, with a softening in international crude price, while inflation has also remained subdued. Therefore, home loan interest rates are expected to remain range-bound, in the coming months.
To make the selection of home loan product more comfortable for the home buyers, we have presented the interest rate range, EMI and processing fees by various banks, in the table given below. The EMI has been calculated based on a loan of Rs one lakh for a tenure of 20 years. You can easily calculate the EMI for the desired amount, by multiplying loan amount (in Rs lakhs) with the EMI range corresponding to selected bank mentioned in the table. For example, the interest rate mentioned for Central Bank is 8.6 per cent per annum and the corresponding EMI for Rs one lakh is Rs 874. Now, if you want to calculate the EMI for Rs 30 lakhs, then, simply multiply the EMI with 30, i.e., Rs 874 x 30 = Rs 26,220 per month (approximately) would be the EMI for 20 years tenure.
