Product · Balance Transfer

Still paying your old bank's rate? Move it, in one file.

If your existing home loan rate is above 7.5%, a balance transfer to a new lender could lower your EMI or shorten your tenure — often with a top-up on the same application.

Why switch

What a balance transfer actually changes

01

Lower interest rate

Move from an older, higher-rate loan to a current market rate — often a 0.5–1.5% difference over the remaining tenure.

02

Shorter tenure, same EMI

Keep your EMI roughly where it is, but cut years off your repayment schedule.

03

Top-up in the same file

Most balance transfers can include an additional top-up loan, disbursed alongside the transfer.

FAQ

Common questions

Is there a penalty for transferring my loan?

Under RBI rules, floating-rate home loans carry no prepayment or foreclosure penalty when transferred to another lender. Fixed-rate loans may have charges — we'll flag this during your eligibility check.

How long does a balance transfer take?

Typically 2–3 weeks end to end, covering new lender approval, document transfer from your current bank, and final disbursal to close the old loan.

Will my credit score be affected?

A balance transfer involves a fresh credit check by the new lender, similar to a new loan application, but responsibly closing the old loan on time is generally a positive signal on your credit history.
