Home Loan Transfer to SBI

Introduction

Advertisement

When you apply for an existing Home Loan Transfer to SBI in 2023, the State Bank of India(SBI) treats it as a new home loan request, but with a slightly dissimilar approach.

This is because a home loan transfer from HDFC or any other bank to SBI is a form of refinancing your existing home loan – also called “Home Loan Take Over” or “Balance Transfer of Home Loan”.

The main objective of a home loan transfer is to save on the interest cost by going the loan balance to SBI offering a lower rate of interest on the home loan.
When the rate of interest in the economy fall, not all banks decrease interest rates on an equal scale for a variety of purpose and that’s when a home loan transfer is an attractive choice, particularly when you are disappointed with the bank’s service.
