Kotak Mahindra Bank Launches Hybrid Home Loan with Fixed Rates up to 65 Months
Kotak Mahindra Bank has introduced a hybrid home loan that allows borrowers to lock in fixed interest rates and EMIs for 39, 52, or 65 months, protecting them from repo rate fluctuations during this period. After the fixed tenure, the loan converts to a floating rate linked to the repo rate plus a spread. The bank offers loans starting at 7.6%, with potential savings up to Rs 3.46 lakh on a Rs 1 crore loan if rates rise. No premium is charged for this hybrid option.
