SBI vs HDFC: The 2026 Rate Comparison

Both banks are excellent. The right choice depends on your specific profile.

Current Rates (April 2026)

SBI offers home loans from 8.5% p.a. for salaried borrowers with a processing fee of 0.35% and a minimum CIBIL requirement of 750.

HDFC Bank offers home loans from 8.7% p.a. with a 0.5% processing fee, but accepts CIBIL scores from 730.

Choose SBI If...

  • You want the lowest possible rate (currently 0.2% cheaper than HDFC)
  • You have a government salary account at SBI
  • Your property has a clear title with no encumbrances
  • Speed is not a priority. SBI approvals take 7–14 days

    • Choose HDFC If...

  • You need faster approval. HDFC can disburse in 3–5 days
  • Your employer is a large MNC or listed company (HDFC gives Category-A rates)
  • You have a CIBIL score between 730–750 (SBI requires 750 minimum)
  • You value strong branch service and relationship banking

    • Our Recommendation
