State Bank of India (SBI) is the third largest home loan lender in India after HDFC Ltd and ICICI Bank. SBI quotes home loan interest rates in terms of daily reducing balance. The interest rate charged on an State Bank home loan varies according to the loan amount, and the processing fees also vary according to the amount of the home loan. SBI does not offer doorstep service, hence an SBI home loan borrower must visit an SBI branch in order to complete his paperwork and also to follow-up on the status of his application.
