SBI hikes home loan interest rate by 25 bps.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

SBI Home Loan Interest Rate Hike:<\/strong> The State Bank of India (SBI) has revised its home and home-related loan interest rates effective from August 1, 2025. As per the report of Economic Times, regular home loans (term loans) will now be available in the range of 7.50% to 8.70%.<\/p>\n

The bank has raised the upper band of interest rates by 25 basis points. Earlier, SBI\u2019s home loan interest rates ranged between 7.50% and 8.45%, but now they stand between 7.50% and 8.70%. This means the lower limit remains unchanged, while the upper limit has been increased.<\/p>\n

New rates are effective from 1st August 2025.<\/p>\n

SBI\u2019s home loan rate hike came on the heels of RBI\u2019s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.55 per cent in the latest MPC meeting in August.<\/p>\n

The Max gain overdraft facility will attract interest rates ranging from 7.75% to 8.95%. Top-up loans have become relatively costlier, with rates between 8.00% and 10.75%, and overdraft top-up loans fixed at 8.25% to 9.45%. Loan against property (P-LAP) now comes at 9.20% to 10.75%, whereas reverse mortgage loans are fixed at 10.55%. SBI has also kept the YONO Insta Home Top-Up Loan at 8.35%.<\/p>\n

The bank has clarified that all home loan rates remain linked to the External Benchmark Lending Rate (EBLR), which currently stands at 8.15%.<\/p>\n

How SBI\u2019s Hike May Impact Borrowers<\/h3>\n

SBI\u2019s decision to raise the upper limit of home loan interest rates from 8.45% to 8.70% will directly impact borrowers opting for loans at the higher end of the band. While the lower limit remains unchanged at 7.50%, those whose credit profile or loan category places them near the upper slab will now face slightly higher EMIs and overall repayment burden. Even though the hike is just 25 basis points, the effect over long tenures can be significant.<\/p>\n

For example, on a Rs 30 lakh loan with a 20-year tenure, the EMI at 8.45% was about Rs 25,830. At the new rate of 8.70%, the EMI rises to Rs 26,278 \u2014 a difference of around Rs 450 every month. Over the loan\u2019s lifetime, this translates into an additional outgo of more than Rs 1 lakh. Borrowers with larger loans, say Rs 50 lakh or above, will see the impact magnified further. This makes homeownership costlier, especially for new buyers stretching their budgets.<\/p>\n
