Overnight MCLR 7.15%
1 month MCLR 7.15%
3 month MCLR 7.40%
6 month MCLR 7.55%
1 year MCLR 7.70%

PNB Housing Finance, being implemented from today, has announced a new rate home
loan company PNB Housing Finance has reduced the loan rates for existing customers by 0.15 per cent. This deduction will be for both personal housing loans and property-acquired loans. The loan rate cut has come into effect from 9 May. 

The bank said in a statement that the deduction will be available to all existing retail customers who have taken loans at floating rate before February 2020. PNB Housing Finance Managing Director and CEO Neeraj Vyas said, ‘We have taken this step to provide relief to customers during the current Kovid-19 crisis. This will also help in growth in the housing sector. This will benefit 2.35 lakh customers, irrespective of the principal amount of their loan. The company provides housing and non-housing loans to its retail customers. Apart from this, the company also lends construction to real estate developers.


SBI had
first lowered the loan. Earlier on May 7, SBI also announced a reduction in MCLR. After the cut, the one-year MCLR has come down from 7.40 per cent to 7.25 per cent. It was reduced by 15 basis points, which would greatly benefit the customers. The new rates will be applicable from 10 May 2020.

Detailed

The challenging situation caused by the coronavirus epidemic will increase transactions through credit cards. A senior SBI Cards official said that now that it has become necessary to live indoors, people will spend to improve the interior of the house.  Hardayal Prasad, managing director and chief executive officer of SBI Cards, said, “It is too early to say anything about how the credit card industry is growing.” I have always been a supporter of digital transactions. Whatever may be the economic situation, I think the transaction through credit card will increase continuously. ‘  There will be more boost from demonetization


Prasad said, ‘The credit card industry was given a boost after demonetization. I think the coronavirus epidemic is going to be bigger than demonetization. After demonetization, cash transactions were replaced by digital. If we get even 5% of that, that will be important. So, we are looking at that. The cash you spend can actually be through the card. Now if you stay at home for a long time and are not going out, you will probably want to make your home better. ‘ 

Prasad said that if people live in homes, they would like better products. He may want to get a big television, a big freeze because he is not going to eat outside and will cook at home. We are looking at this type of trend. People will feel that now our home is an office, it should be made better. In such a situation, they would like to make their home better. 

Expenses through cards will be less for entertainment
Prasad said that expenses will be reduced through cards for things like travel, hotels, summer vacation, cinema, and entertainment. Things are expected to be normal by October, so the business is going to be a bit challenging. He said, ‘During that time there will be festivals. The festival is important in terms of expenditure in the country. However, it is also true that 60 to 80 percent of the business is done in summer which will not happen this year. 

Things will improve during the New Year, 
however, Prasad expressed confidence that things will improve during the festivals and New Year in terms of expenditure. SBI Card is also looking at co-branded cards. The company has a co-branded card with Apollo Hospital. Through this, people can buy medicine online with advice from doctors.
