How to Get the Best Rate
Securing the lowest rate requires a mix of good credit health and negotiation.
1
Check CIBIL Score
Ensure your score is above 750. Clear outstanding credit card dues before applying.
2
Compare Spread
Banks offer Repo Rate + Spread. Look for the lowest spread margin.
3
Negotiate
If you have a high income or are an existing customer, ask for a waiver on processing fees.
4
Opt for Balance Transfer
If your current rate is high, switch to a new lender offering lower rates.
