SBI had offered a home loan of up to Rs 75 lakh for a limited period at 6.70 per cent interest. At the same time, the interest rate on home loan of Rs 75 lakh to 5 crore was 6.75 percent. According to the SBI website, the new rate has been implemented at 6.95 percent on April 1. The new rates are 0.25 per cent higher than the limited term offer.

This fee was also added
The bank has also levied a home loan integrated processing fee. This will be 0.40 per cent of the loan amount and in the form of GST. The processing fee will be minimum Rs 10,000 and maximum Rs 30,000. Last month, SBI announced waiving of processing fees on housing loans by 31 March.
Your EMI will increase by one thousand rupees
With this decision of SBI, your EMI will also increase by about one thousand rupees. Let’s try to understand it by example. If you have taken a home loan of Rs 75 lakh for 10 years, then your EMI was Rs 85926 at an interest rate of 6.70 per cent. Which has now come to 86,888 rupees after the 6.95 percent interest rate was implemented.

At the same time, it has not yet implemented its new rates from other banks. In the coming days after SBI, the rest of the government and private banks of the country can implement their new rates.
