Is LIC Home Loan losing its charm?

Maybe it is maybe it’s not. But, we have been noticing quite lately that its competitor - State Bank of India is ruling the market for home loans. There is no doubt that both of these lenders are always in neck-to-neck competition, SBI at present is focusing on marketing which is surely going in its favor.

Whenever a person plans to take a home loan, she makes sure that the lender is providing lowest possible rates. LIC home loan comes with multi-purpose options and low-interest rates. However, if we compare about the interest rate for different loan amounts, the lender is quite costlier than SBI. Maybe, this is another reason that customers are preferring SBI over LIC housing loan. Other factors such as eligibility criteria and loan amount and not to forget special rates for women also are responsible for the partial behavior of the customers. So, let us put some light on the interest rates offered by LIC on a home loan and SBI. We see what is the interest rate depending on the loan amount range and schemes available at SBI as well as LIC.
