Banks and NBFCs Offer Festive Loan Discounts Amid Rising Interest Rates
Ahead of the festive season, banks and NBFCs are offering various loan incentives, including reduced home-loan interest rates starting around 7.25%, processing fee waivers, and personal loan perks. While lower rates can save borrowers significant interest over time, rising policy rates may increase borrowing costs. Consumers are advised to consider the timing and necessity of purchases amid expected rate hikes, as existing and new loan EMIs could become more expensive during this period of increased spending.
