Types of SCB Home Loan

SCB’s home loans are very much attuned to the requirements of customers who seek funds both for new or old home property and also for under construction projects to acquire their home of choice. Of the many generic offers that are common to the home loan product among the lenders, the feature that makes SCB unique is the loyalty program offered to their own customers in the form of attractive cashback, subject to meeting their norms.

SCB Home Loan: It is the primary home loan that offers tailor made home solutions to the customers. The redeeming features of the loan apart from the many purposes it serves are generous balance transfer facilities and top up at lower rates. It also offers the facility of refinance after 6 months of the acquisition of the property. The top-up equivalent to the loan amount at rates similar to the home loan provides for additional funds for use of the customer.

SCB Home Saver Loan: Since the interest on home loan is applied on reducing balance on monthly rests, you end up paying lower interest amount as you can park your funds in the account. It provides overdraft facility laced with easy access to your fund for withdrawal.

Cashback Home Loan: It is a unique loyalty program specifically for the SCB customers where the EMI of the home loan is serviced through a SB account with SCB. The cashback amount is credited to the SB account every 12 months subject to theterms and conditions.

Standard Chartered Bank Home Loan for NRI or PIO

SCB offers a home loan solution for the NRI component of their client base with features attuned to their requirements. Most of the features which the resident Indian enjoys are also intrinsic to the home loan solutions to the NRI. The major difference being that the loans are extended only to the salaried NRI and their repayment terms are lower. That apart, they get the benefit of matching interest rate and the Home Saver and Cash back options. Though there is no bar on the NRI procuring immovable property is India barring farm land, they need to comply with the rules defined by RBI and FERA regulations.
