The majority of home loans are linked to the EBLR, which stands for External Benchmark Lending Rate. The interest rates on all floating rate home loans will be linked to an external benchmark. For example, starting on October 1, 2019, SBI started using the repo rate as the external benchmark to link its floating rate home loans.
Beside the interest rate set by the bank according to the RBI guidelines, final interest rate depends on various factors.
Here are the top five banks and their home loan interest rates. Make sure to check your eligibility before applying.

Indian Bank home loan Indian Bank offers interest rate between 8.60% to 9.90% on home loans. Interest rate differs depending on the type of customers.
Importance of CIBIL score The CIBIL score is crucial because it enables banks to limit loan and credit card offers to those with a strong credit history. Giving credit to someone with a strong credit score enables them to be sure that the loan is going to a responsible borrower. A CIBIL score of 700+ is considered the good CIBIL score for home loans.
CIBIL scores often vary from 300 to 900. However, the majority of lenders want a credit score of 650 or above in order to approve a home loan. Anything below 550 is seen as having a terrible CIBIL score, with an optimal CIBIL score for a home loan being 800. You can improve your credit score if it is between 550 and 700 so that it meets the requirements of your lenders.
