Know more about the home balance transfer facility provided by ICICI Bank
Consider opting for a balance transfer from ICICI Bank on Bajaj Markets to enjoy lower EMIs. This option usually enables you to get low interest rates starting from 8.75% p.a. You can also repay the loan easily and conveniently over extended tenures of up to 30 years.
With the ‘Instant Provisional Sanction’ feature, you can transfer the outstanding balance without visiting the branch. Furthermore, you can also opt for the top-up facility to get a higher loan amount and fulfil your additional requirements.
Take a look at the interest rates and charges applicable:
Interest Rate |
8.75% p.a. onwards |
Processing Fees |
₹3,000 + GST |
Administrative Charges |
₹5,000 + GST or 0.25% of the loan amount + GST, (whichever is lower) |
Prepayment Charges |
2% + GST on fixed rate loans |
*Disclaimer: The rates mentioned are subject to change at the lender’s discretion.
The administrative charges and processing fees CAN increase your overall loan cost. However, this added expense can be balanced out with a low interest rate. Let’s understand how this affects your loan repayment in greater detail with the help of an example.
Consider that you have an existing home loan of ₹50 Lakhs at an interest rate of 15% p.a. The tenure for this loan is 20 years. In this case, the EMI payable is ₹65,839.48. A balance transfer can help reduce the instalment amount as illustrated in the table below:

Here, we have assumed that the bank provides an interest rate of 8.75% p.a. So, the EMI amount reduces to ₹44,185.54. This substantial drop in the instalment amount can lead to massive savings over the loan tenure.
With a good credit score, you can benefit from affordable interest rates, starting from just 8.75% p.a.
