SBI Drops Prepayment Charges on Home Loans
Banking leader State Bank of India dropped ‘prepayment charges’ on all its loans over the past fortnight. The announcement coincided with the hiking of the bank’s base rate and withdrawal of the controversial teaser home loan schemes. With the SBI taking the lead, other banks are now expected to follow suit and withdraw the controversial penalty in the days to come. Most banks and home finance institutions charge a prepayment penalty in the range of 1 per cent to 2 per cent in the event of a customer opting to close the home loan prematurely. Public sector banks generally charge about 1 per cent or less of the loan outstanding as prepayment penalty, while it can be anywhere between 1-3 per cent in private banks. In many cases, banks do not charge any prepayment penalty if you prepay using your own sources.
