The cut in the home loan rate is in line with the base rate reduction of 0.25 percent announced last week as there is no tinkering with spreads on loans.
ICICI Bank, on Tuesday, slashed home loan rate for both existing as well as new borrowers by 0.25 percent joining a rate cut war initiated by its bigger rivals HDFC Ltd and SBI .
Women borrowers and financially weaker sections will now get home loan at 9.85 percent, while for other borrowers it will be 9.90 percent. The cut in the home loan rate is in line with the base rate reduction of 0.25 percent announced last week as there is no tinkering with spreads on loans.
The country's largest lender SBI is also offering similar home loan rates effective yesterday. ICICI Bank said reduction of home loan rates effective today is valid for all existing and new customers.
"With this announcement, women as well as applicants from weaker sections will get home loans at 9.85 percent. The rate will be 9.90 percent for all others," the bank said in a statement.
The interest rate for fixed rate home loans have also been reduced. "The borrowers taking fixed rate home loans with tenure of 10 years for loan amount up to Rs 30 lakh will have to pay 9.90 percent, the same effective interest rate applicable for floating rate home loans," said the bank.
Effective April 10, the new base rate or the minimum lending rate is 9.75 percent. "The move will benefit all existing customers of floating home loans, whose home loan rates will be reduced by 0.25 percent as per the change in the base rate," the statement said.
After cutting the key rate twice this year, the central bank kept it unchanged at 7.5 percent in its monetary policy on April 7.
The Reserve Bank had blamed banks for not passing the benefits of two repo rate cuts to borrowers and termed as "nonsense" the lenders' claims that cost of fund was high.
"The banks marginal cost of funding (has) fallen, the notion that it hasn't fallen, is nonsense; it has fallen" Rajan had said.
Many banks including State Bank of India, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank last week cut lending rates by up to 0.25 percent after RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan's tough talk with bankers on the issue.
