Will home loans become CHEAPER after repo rate cut?


 Name 

At last! Some good news for the existing home loan customers, in the wake of RBI’s announcement of sharp reduction of 50 basis points in the repo rate. This reduction has come after a long wait of almost three years. This invariably means the borrowing from RBI will become cheaper for the commercial banks. The instant reaction of this move is the downward revision of base rate of ICICI Bank, IDBI Bank, Punjab National Bank, Syndicate Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bank of Baroda, Allahabad Bank, etc.

 

But what matters most is: Will these rate cut translate into reduction of interest rates on loans, especially home loan EMIs?

 

Will you really benefit by this 0.5 per cent cut in the repo rate (the rate at which commercial banks borrow from the RBI)?
