SBI is the first bank in the country to link its loan lending rate with an external benchmark, which is Reserve Bank of India’s repo rate. The loan interest rates linked with repo rate is called as Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR). SBI terms it as External Benchmark Rate (EBR).
One important thing to note is that these interest rates are not just based on EBR but there are other factors also. Some common factors affecting interest rates are gender, age of the borrower, employment status, loan amount, loan repayment tenure and most importantly the risk profile of the borrower. Usually, banks charge a premium over loan interest rates to cover these risks.
Apart from 7.95% (premium of 15 bps) interest rate for Rs.30 lakhs loan, SBI is offering 8.2% (premium of 40 bps) as the interest rate on home loans of Rs 30 lakhs to Rs. 75 lakhs. Home loans above Rs.75 lakhs will be levied 8.3% (premium of 50 bps) interest rate.
Home Loan Intrest Rate Card Structure (Floating): | EBR: 7.80% | |
Loan Amount | Salaried | |
Term Loan | Maxgain | |
Upto Rs 30 Lacs | EBR + 15bps ER: 7.95% (ER: Effective Rate) |
EBR + 40 bps ER: 8.20% |
About Rs 30 Lacs to Rs 75 Lacs | EBR + 40 bps ER: 8.20% |
EBR + 40 bps ER: 8.20% |
Above Rs 75 Lacs | EBR + 50 bps ER: 8.30% |
EBR + 75 bps ER: 8.55% |
Furthermore, other profile parameters of the borrower facilitate SBI to decide on loan interest rates and they are:
- For un-salaried borrowers, a premium of 0.15% will be added to the interest rate.
- For loan amounts up to Rs. 30 lakhs, if LTV ratio is more than 80% but less than 90%, a premium of 0.10% will be added to the interest rate.
- For borrowers falling under the risk group of 4 to 6, a premium of 0.10% will be added to the interest rate.
- For women borrowers, 0.50 bps concession will be provided on the interest rate.
