Home loan Interest rates are set to fall and EMIs are also set to drop

May 26, 2020By Admin

The announcement by the RBI is positive news for stable income home loan borrowers, as interest rates in this segment will drop by 40 basis points (100bps equal to 1 percentage point) to about 7%. This is the lowest rate in over 10 to 15 years.

In addition, borrowers facing income instability due to the Covid-19 lockout will take advantage of an extended three-month moratorium to get their finances under control.

Those customers who've not so far taken advantage of a moratorium but now face pressure on salary can still defer their repayments for three months. On something like a Rs 30 lakh loan with a maximum 15-year maturity the net incremental interest will be around Rs 2.34 lakh — equivalent to eight EMIs. A part of the responsibility could decline as a result of interest rate cuts.

To current lenders, SBI 's home loan interest rates up to Rs 30 lakh will drop immediately to 7 % from the current 7.4 %, loans between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 75 lakh to 7.25 % from 7.65 %, and above Rs 75 lakh to 7.35 percent from 7.75 percent. The rates would be further decreased by 5bps for borrowers women.

Interest has been dropped by 1.4 % since October 2019 when home loan rates were connected to the repo rate. The EMI on a Rs 30 lakh loan in October 2019 is now down to Rs 19,959 from Rs 22,855 — a reduction of Rs 2,896.

Housing finance providers and those banks that haven't related their home loan rates to the repo rate cannot pass on their home loans reduction. HDFC, however, has already reduced its prices to 7.50 percent driven by demand.

The RBI had pushed banks to connect their interest rates on priority sector loans – including home loans – to an external benchmark rate (EBR) to improve market transmission. Most banks have opted for repo rate as their EBR.

Some banks such as SBI risen the distribution on home loan rates for new borrowers by 20bps on May 8, by growing the margin over and above the 7.05 percent benchmark rate tied against the repo rate.SBI did so, saying that the credit risk of lenders had risen due to the pandemic, and that the bank had raised the interest rate by 20bps.

Most banks have stated that the decline in the repo rate does not reduce their loan costs, but contributes to reducing interests rates for existing borrowers. The banks may therefore return to raising spreads. A senior banker said banks would bypass the lowering of the rates to suit the latest round of repo rate reductions.
