HDFC Bank Commercial Property Loan Interest Rates and Other Charges:

The Commercial Property Loan comes under the Adjustable Rate linked to HDFC’s Retail Prime Lending Rate (RPLR). The interest rate on the loan could be reset every 3 months if the RPLR changes. If the interest rate goes up, the interest component in the equated monthly instalment (EMI) will increase and the principal component will go down. This in turn, will lead to increase in loan tenure. If the interest rate decreases, then the EMI will have a higher principal repayment component and a lower interest component, and the loan tenure will decrease.

The current rates of interest at HDFC are as follows:

Processing fee: Up to 1.5% of the loan amount, subject to a minimum of Rs. 3,000, plus GST.

Pre-payment charges: In case of fixed-rate loan, there will be no pre-payment charges for up to 25% of the opening principal balance for the particular fiscal. But pre-payment of more than 25% of the opening balance or complete amount will attract 2% pre-payment charges plus GST. There will be no pre-payment charges for adjustable loan rate customers for any amount. The foreclosure charges are also waived off is partial pre-payment is made after 3 years of taking the loan, though full pre-payment will attract a fee of 2% plus GST.

Conversion fee: The following fees are applicable for switching from one type of loan to another:

• From fixed first rate loan (during the period of fixed rate of interest) to normal adjustable rate loan: 2% of the principal outstanding balance, the undisbursed amount, and applicable GST.
• From fixed first rate loan (during the period of adjustable rate of interest) to normal adjustable rate loan: 0.50% of the principal outstanding balance, the undisbursed amount, and GST.
• From normal adjustable rate loan to fixed first rate loan: 0.50% of the principal outstanding balance, the undisbursed amount, and GST.
• Switch to a lower interest rate in the adjustable interest rate option: 50% of the difference of the two coupon rates with at least 0.50% of the principal outstanding balance as fees, subject to a maximum of 1.50% of the principal outstanding balance, plus GST.

Delayed payment charges: Delay in interest payment or EMI will attract a fine of 24% per annum.
