The central bank Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its bi-monthly monetary meeting on Friday decided to keep the rates unchanged. According to the decision of the central bank, the repo rate will remain at 4 percent as before. Apart from this, the Reverse Repo Rate also remains at 3.35 per cent. These rates have a great impact on the common people because on the basis of this, the loan rates are determined. Talking about home loan, this time is very suitable for taking home because you are getting home loan at less than 7 percent. Talking about private and public banks in the country, home loans can be taken from Kotak Bank and SBI at the lowest rates up to 6.75 percent.

EMI will be less in this bank
Suppose you want a home loan of 30 lakh rupees for a period of 20 years, then you will have to pay EMI bank-wise.
SBI
- EMI of Rs 22,900 at 6.8%
- Total interest – Rs 24,96,045
- Several total amount paid – Rs 54,96,045
PNB
- EMI of Rs 23,893 at 7.35%
- Total interest – Rs 27,34,412

SBI will have to pay Rs 54.96 lakh for taking a home loan for 20 years at the rate of 6.8 per cent, but if the loan is taken through the Yono app, the interest will be reduced by 0.05 per cent and the same loan will have to be paid for repaying Rs 54.74 lakh.

Interest rates depend on many factors
Most people take loans from the bank to buy a house. At what rate the bank will provide home loan, it depends on many factors such as age of the applicant, gender, loan amount, duration. Apart from this, the rate of interest for the loan depends on the credit score. The lower the credit score, the higher is the interest rate, such that PNB gets a loan of more than 9 percent on a CIBIL score of less than 700. Apart from this, the loan rates also depend on LTV ratio (loan to property value ratio).
