Other banks like HDFC and SBI have also reduced their rates following the Reserve Bank of India directive to reduce home loan rates. The home loan rates for women borrowers and men borrowers are different in case of SBI.
The interest rate for loan amounting to Rs. 75 lakh would be charged at 10.1% for female borrowers while it would be 10.15% for the male borrowers. The rate reduction is also announced by HDFC and the rates are almost in line with each other.
