Initiated the process to shift my uncle's home loan from Axis to Bank of Baroda's "Takeover scheme" loan. 

Current ROI at Axis - 9.05

Best deal provided from retention team - 8.75

ROI offered by BoB's - 8.50

_____________________________________

Documents to be submitted at BOB:

  1. last two year ITRs,KYC of applicant/co-applicant
  2. property document copies(general)
  3. Account statements #
  4. List of Documents (LOD) #

# this two documents should come from original lender. For Axis, we have to visit the Loan department, and have to request the same. Account statement comes instantly in mail, LOD comes over courier to registered address.

Axis Retention

LOD is usually asked for outstanding transfer. I was told by agent to request the LOD, as it's being end of fiscal, they'll cut some stack to retain me. However, the person at desk received my document request without any bother. So, I asked her if they usually let go customers that easily without any retention. 

Then she asked me if I would like to hear back from retention team, and she took another request for callback from retention team. She entered the name of competitor and offered ROI.

Under 3 working days, my uncle started receiving calls. and upon third day of daily calls, he heard the best of them as 8.75. he denied and asked the LOD explicitly. It was matter of yesterday, let's see if he still gets' another call today.

Pre-closure charges from AXIS:

My agent from AXIS said there would be no pre-clause charges to issue the NOC.

only the charges of LOD that gets delivered to my address.

__________________________________________________________________
Some important terms of BOB offer
:

  1. As per the manager, minimum amount transfer amount is 30L. our current outstanding is 27L. so he insisted to take a top-up, as we're not looking for any top-up be agreed to make his best possible to offer the loan of 27L. In nutshell, they'll easily  provide the top-up if someone asks.
  2. Offer is till end of fiscal(as per manager), so better visit the branch early if interested. __________________________________________________________________

key benefits

  1. Zero processing charges 
  2. Old insurance will work 
  3. Zero cost for valuation report(Manager agreed to reimburse)
  4. Any credit amount kept in SB will make the Interest 0 of the same amount on loan outstandings

    counted daily; have to let go savings account interest(2.75)

    For example, 

    Outstanding = 27L , SA balance = 3L then

    24L @ 8.5% 

    3L @ 2.75%

    Makes the average at 7.86% per annum if I maintained the 3L SA for 365 days. daily pro-rata basis, otherwise.

    Home loans will never have pre payment charges (i think it's a rule by RBI)

    Please check & be careful. Usually Home loan Topups are at a slightly higher cost than the normal loan. 
    Not sure why the min amount is 30L - manager might be tricking you into getting a higher loan amount. Considering the high interest rates era currently, avoid taking unnecessary loans (& minimize your loan amount) as much as possible.

      Was getting same ROI at HDFC, and 8.0 at local co-operative(with strong foundations). PSU appeared better than private for me.

          Just visit the maintenance dept in SBI Racpc where you had gone to sign the home loan documents. They will lower the interest rate.
