With the revision, the lowest rate of 6.70% regime for limited period ended in March 31.
During the limited period, the bank offered home loan starting from 6.70% for loans up to ₹75 lakh and 6.75% for loans in the range of ₹75 lakh-₹5 crore.
As per information posted on its website, the new rate effective April 1 is 6.95%.
