Personal loans: At the time of applying for personal loans, it is important to check the interest rates charged by different banks – both state and private.
On April 9, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the repo rate by 25 basis points, thus incentivising banks to lower their interest rates on their borrowings. However, the immediate impact is seen on home loans (with variable interest rates) and not on personal loans which typically charge a fixed rate of interest across the loan tenure.
Here, we list out the interest rates charged by banks on their personal loans.
