Housing finance major, LIC Housing Finance has announced an increase in its home loan rates for new loans by 40-50 basis points.
Following the revision, the interest rate on loans up to Rs 30 lakh will be 10.65 per cent; for loans above Rs 30 lakh and less than Rs 75 lakh, 11 per cent; and for Rs 75 lakhs up to Rs 1.50 crore, 11.50 per cent.
