In a customer-centric move aimed at encouraging home ownership and stimulating loan demand, the state-owned Bank of Baroda has announced a further reduction in its home loan interest rate. Effective immediately, the bank has cut its home loan rate by 5 basis points to 7.45% per annum and has also waived processing fees for new borrowers. This is the 2nd such rate cut in recent months, following the Reserve Bank of India's policy repo rate reduction.

Further Relief for Homebuyers

The new rate revision follows a previous cut in June, when Bank of Baroda reduced its home loan rates from 8.00% to 7.50%. With the latest revision to 7.45%, the bank aims to enhance affordability for prospective homebuyers. “This latest reduction... is aimed at supporting the aspirations of citizens and stimulating credit growth,” said Sanjay Mudaliar, Executive Director at Bank of Baroda, as per news reports.

The offer is applicable to new borrowers, and specific terms and conditions can be found on the bank’s official website. The move reflects the lender’s commitment to passing on the benefits of lower policy rates to consumers.
