A "low interest" loan shouldn't mean you have very little interest in paying it back!
Having a house of your own is like a dream come true. However, due to work or business, you may have to shift to a different country and purchasing a house in your own land may seem like a distant affair. SBI has come up with a scheme, SBI NRI Home Loan, that lets you buy a house in your own country even if you are living overseas. Designed for Non-resident Indians (NRIs), the housing finance scheme comes with long repayment tenure, competitive rates, and hassle-free documentation process.
