SBI Loan Transfer

Hello Mr.Karthik,

     I am also interested to know more about this home loan transfer procedure from ICICI to SBI. I agree with you that the rates in ICICI are very high compared to other banks.  Please let us know if you have any other information in this regard.

Thanks

Home loan interest rates

Dear Mr Karthik,
I am also interested in switching over to some other bank from ICICI for homeloan. When I contacted SBI, they wanted an interim Guarentor for the full loan amount till the disbursement is made. Sbi offers very low rate compare to ICICI. You may also include me in your group for switching over to new bank

Home Loan


Dear Kethanites,
 
I somehow lost the thread of home loan related mail. Want to know how ICICI home loan takers manage the current interest rate. The current interest rate for me is 13% after reducing from 13.5% :-(. It is still very high when compared to other banks. Check the below link for the current interest rates.
 
The SBI bank and IDBI seems to be offering the lowest interest rates. I want to know whether any of Kethanites has managed to get loan from SBI? Thanks for inputs from Mr. Krishna who got loan from IDBI. I am planning to do a balance transfer to any of these banks. There will be loss of approximately 2.5% which is composed of 2% for ICICI closing/conversion rate and 0.5% for processing fees for my new bank. As per my calculation I should be able to tolerate this loss if I switch from 13% to 10.75% easily. And from next year onwards it should start paying me the benefits. If anybody else are planning then we should apply as a group and get benefits on processing fees and if possible in interest rates. Please write me if any of you are interested.
 
Thanks and Regards
Karthik
 

Regarding renting association room, I would like to share some concern/views with other members.
This will lead to the outside vehicle, persons coming in our premises. This is a security threat. This is quite dangerous for our small kids playing in common area. Specifically if the room is used as a storage place and for this outside tempo and labour will be visiting the premises routinely.
Also If I remember correctly, some time back we have conducted the opinion poll regarding the renting of this room which was rejected by most of the members.
Instead of renting it out we can develop the room which can be used by any of the member for conducting parties/get-together. The association can charge nominal fee from member for this purpose.
More than the income from the room, the security concern shall be priority.

Withdrawal of Nomination from the Role of Generel Secretary

Hi All,

 

This is Mrs. Balaji.

First of all I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to people who have shown trust in me and nominated my name for the post of general secretary.

Having said that, I would like to withdraw my name from the nomination, as I would not be able to invest my time, energy and do justification to the role. I am always welcome to take any maintenance responsibility as member of governing body, but would not like to contest for the role of General Secretary.

 

Please accept this mail as my withdrawal from the nomination.

 

Thanks and Regards

Srilatha Balaji
