Since the beginning of 2025, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cut the repo rate by 1% (100 basis points), bringing cheer to home loan borrowers as the reduction has led to lower interest rates. Historically, banks have been the go-to option for housing loans, thanks to their strong reputation and established presence in the financial sector. However, in recent years, housing finance companies (HFCs) have emerged as notable competitors, demonstrating adaptability and reliability in lending practices. Individuals who are self-employed or have non-traditional income sources may find it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of banks. As a result, they are often attracted to HFCs, which typically offer more flexible eligibility criteria compared to traditional banks.According to Kotak Mahindra Bank's website, 'HFCs primary focus is providing housing loans or financing through various direct or indirect means. While they were initially regulated by the National Housing Bank (NHB), the responsibility of handling HFCs was transferred to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 2019. However, certain regulatory powers remain with the NHB.Also read: Home loan EMIs continue to fall: 7 banks cut home loan interest rates after RBI repo rate cut in June Currently, housing finance companies in the country offer interest rates between 7.99% and 10% on home loans. These rates depend on factors such as the lender, credit score, and loan amount, among others.Here are some basic documents to keep handy before applying for home loans, according to LIC Housing Finance 's website.KYC documentsIncome DocumentsProperty documentsImportant FAQs from PNB Housing every home loan borrower should know:On the annual reducing balance method, you will continue to pay interest on amounts you repay during the coming one year as the interest for the year is determined on the basis of the balance outstanding at the beginning of the year.In the case of the daily reducing balance, which is the methodology we employ, your interest is calculated only on the outstanding loan amount, which reduces every time you pay off your EMIs or make any prepayments.

New auto loans beat housing in Q1

MUMBAI: In an unusual turn, Indian banks extended more credit for automobile purchases than for housing in the first quarter of FY26, highlighting a shift in consumer demand and lending patterns. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to RBI data on the sectoral deployment of bank credit, banks added Rs 2.4 lakh crore to their loan books between April and June. Of this, nearly two-thirds came from home loans, vehicle loans and loans against gold jewellery. Housing finance which has traditionally been the main driver of retail lending saw a marked slowdown partly due to HDFC Bank growing mortgages slower than industry on its large base due to competition. At the end of June, outstanding home loans stood at Rs 30.6 lakh crore, making up 16.6% of all bank credit. While this represents a year-on-year growth of 9.6%, lending during the quarter rose by just 1.9% or Rs 56,643 crore, slower than vehicle finance. Auto loans grew Rs 29,492 crore during the quarter, taking the total to Rs 6.52 lakh crore. That was a 4.7% rise in three months and 10.8% higher than a year earlier, lifting the segment's share in bank credit to 3.5%. The overall growth in bank credit was modest, with outstanding loans growing just 1.3% in the quarter, from Rs 182.44 lakh crore to Rs 184.83 lakh crore. A key drag was the services sector, where loans declined 0.6% or Rs 30,631 crore, pulled down by a 2.4% contraction in credit to non-banking financial companies. Lending to NBFCs fell to Rs 15.96 lakh crore. Gold-backed loans, however, saw the sharpest rise, growing 28.9% to Rs 2.77 lakh crore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The increase was driven by reclassification of agri loans secured against gold into the gold loan category. This trend could change in second quarter with RBI revising norms again. Lending to agriculture expanded 6.8% year on year, lower than the 17.4% growth seen in the same period last year. Industrial credit grew 5.5%, compared to 7.7% a year earlier, though sectors such as engineering, construction and textiles showed improved momentum. Personal loans, which include unsecured lending and credit card dues, continued to grow but at a slower clip. Growth in the segment decelerated to 14.7% from 16.6% a year earlier, amid a moderation in vehicle loans and credit card outstandings.

Bank Holidays In August 2025: List Of Dates On Which Banks Will Remain Closed

A new month, August, is starting. Let's take a look at the days when the bank will remain closed in India. A bank holiday refers to a day when banks are closed and do not conduct transactions. Bank holidays can be declared by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or by individual state governments. Banks may close their branches on holidays, affecting customer transactions and services. The online banking services may still be available, but some transactions may be restricted or delayed. On bank holiday days, ATMs may be unavailable or experience disruptions. There are three types of bank holidays: National Holidays are observed across all states and union territories, such as Republic Day and Independence Day; Festival Holidays are specific to certain regions or communities, such as Diwali, Eid, or Christmas; and State-Specific Holidays are declared by state governments and vary from state to state.
