New Delhi, Nov 24: The country’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has decided to abolish pre-payment charges on home loans, giving some succour to borrowers who want to foreclose their accounts.
“We have decided to do away with the pre-payment charges on all kinds of housing loans with immediate effect,” a senior official of the bank told PTI.
The bank has been charging pre-payment penalties only on housing loans with floating interest rates taken before May 2011, the official said. It has been charging about 2 per cent of the outstanding amount as penalty if borrowers opted to foreclose their loans.
The decision from the largest lender will prompt other lenders to follow the suit.
