ICICI Bank slashes interest rates for home loans

ICICI Bank
Mumbai, Dec 6: Private sector lender, ICICI Bank, has reduced its interest rate for home loans of Rs 20-lakh and below to 11.5 per cent.

"We have revised our interest rate by 1.5 per cent from 13 per cent to 11.5 per cent," an ICICI Bank spokesperson said. This cut will, however, be applicable for only new home loans, the spokesperson said.

"Priority sector lending has always been one of our key focus areas and we have a differential offering for these customers.

This is our pricing to promote the priority segment and offer affordable housing," he added.

The move comes after India's central bank reduced the repo rate and reserve by 100 basis points each.

Reduced rate of interest of 11.5% made applicable only to NEW loans is day light robbery.People like me pay 14.5% to ICICI Bank and regularly pay the EMI and ICICI should reduce our interest tates too.What they loose by investing in US cannot be earned from people like us who are forced to pay 14.5% interest. Isnt RBI looking at this seriously ?
