Home Loan

Planning to get a home loan? Now's a good time. On June 7, the RBI cut the repo rate by 0.50% to 5.5%. Since February 2025, the RBI has reduced the repo rate by a total of 1%. This directly benefits customers. Many banks have lowered home loan interest rates, meaning your EMI could be lower. This relief isn't just for new borrowers – existing ones also benefit.

This makes the dream of owning a home a bit easier.
