LIC Housing Finance reduces interest rates to 7.4% for home loans

LIC Housing Finance Ltd reduces its rates of interest for individual home loan borrowers with immediate effect.

Accordingly rate of interest for new customers having CIBIL score of 800 or more is 7.5% for any amount of loan.

An additional reduction of 10 bps i.e. 7.40% will be offered if the customer assigns new/existing single premium term assurance policy with the sum assured equal to the loan amount to LIC HFL.

The rate of interest is linked to the creditworthiness as reflected in CIBIL scores of the borrowers.

Speaking on the occasion, Siddhartha Mohanty, Managing Director & CEO of LIC Housing Finance Ltd, said they want to bring confidence back to the sector.

The LIC HFL’s home loan app HomY has equipped the marketing teams to onboard customers digitally and provide faster turn-around time in loan approvals as well as servicing without visiting our offices, he said.
