Canara Bank Home Loans Interest Rates

The interest rates applied on Home Loans are calculated on the basis of the bank's internal cost of raising new funds, and borrower's occupation, income level, repayment capacity, and the type of property. Here are some common factors that can affect your Canara Bank Home Loan Interest Rate:

• The salary of the borrower:The income or salary of an individual helps the bank in identifying the interest rate to be applied on the loan. Usually a higher income helps in getting a lower interest rate.
• The loan amount applied for:The total amount of the Home Loan that is borrowed from the bank has a major affect on the interest rate that is charged for the same. As the loan amount increases, the rate of interest decreases.
• Type of borrower: The bank offers different interest rates for women Home Loan borrowers. Similarly, the rates will vary for a salaried, self-employed, business owner, and pensioner.
• Type of loan:The bank offers different interest rates for different loan schemes. For instance the rate of interest for Housing Loan is lower than the rate of interest for Housing Loan CRE (3rd & subsequent dwelling unit).
• Existing relationship with the bank: Usually banks offer reduced Home Loan interest rates to their existing customers.

• Opt for a shorter tenure:The rate of interest for a Home Loan is affected by its repayment period. The shorter the tenure of the loan, the lower is the total interest paid.
• Increase EMIs: By increasing the amount of EMI to be paid, it will not only reduce the total interest paid but it will help you to also pay the loan amount faster.

In addition to Home Loan interest rates, Canara Bank also has some other charges which include:
