Interest Rates on SBI Personal Loans

On top of this, the bank adds a spread ranging from 1.25 per cent to 6.25 per cent, depending on your credit score, income, employer category, and your relationship with the bank. This brings the effective interest rate to a range between 10.30 per cent and 15.30 per cent per annum.
Processing fees
As per Mint, SBI charges a processing fee of up to 1.5 per cent of the loan amount, which can vary from Rs 1,000 to Rs 15,000, plus GST. If you choose to repay your loan early (for fixed-rate loans), you will need to pay a foreclosure fee of 3 per cent of the prepaid amount.
Meanwhile, missed EMIs attract a penal charge of 2 per cent per month on the overdue amount. In addition, actual charges can vary based on your profile.

– For private sector employees, the rates range between 11.60 per cent and 14.10 per cent.
– The Xpress Credit scheme targets salaried professionals in corporates, with rates from 12.60 per cent to 14.60 per cent.

Pension Loan Options
SBI also caters to pensioners. Government retirees can avail of loans at rates between 11.15 per cent and 11.65 per cent, while defence pensioners under the Jai Jawan Pension Loan scheme are charged a flat 11.15 per cent.
For pre-approved pension loans for existing customers, the rate also stands at 11.15 per cent. These loans often have reduced processing fees.
How to Calculate Your EMI
Your loan EMI will depend on the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure you choose. Higher loan amounts or longer tenures lead to higher EMIs. To plan better, you can use SBI's EMI calculator on their website to estimate your monthly repayment.

SBI raises ₹25,000 cr via India's largest QIP; to issue 30.6 cr shares at ₹817 each
Mumbai: The country's largest lender State Bank of India has raised ₹ 25,000 crore through a qualified institutional placement (QIP) of its equity shares, making it the largest QIP executed in Indian capital markets. The board of the public sector bank announced the close of the QIP late Monday evening, and approved the issue and allotment of 30.6 crore shares at an issue price of ₹ 817 each. The QIP was subscribed 4.5 times, with 64.3% bids being made by foreign investors. Marquee long-term investors received around 88% of the final allocation, including 24% of the issue size getting placed with foreign long-term investors, the bank said in a release. 'This landmark equity raise is a vote of confidence in SBI's solid fundamentals, prudent risk management and digital-first growth agenda,' SBI Chairman C.S. Setty was quoted as saying in the release. The bank said it will use the proceeds from the share issue to augment its common equity tier-I (CET-1) capital buffer, which will improve to 11.50% from 10.81% as on March 31, 2025. This capital raise will support calibrated credit growth across retail, MSME and corporate segments, it added. Life Insurance Corp (LIC) of India had participated in SBI's QIP, acquiring 6.1 crore shares for ₹ 5,000 crore, the insurer informed the exchanges post market hours on Monday. LIC said it expects to receive the shares by 23 July and for them to be listed by 24 July. Post issue, the shareholding of the insurance company in SBI will rise to 9.49% of the paid-up capital of the bank from 9.21% earlier. The latest QIP is the first one for the bank since FY18, when it had raised ₹ 18,000 crore. The issue is part of SBI's mega fund-raising plan for FY26, Mint had reported on 16 July. Looking to beef up its capital ratios, the public sector bank is looking to tap both the debt and equity markets to raise up to ₹ 45,000 crore in FY26. SBI had announced its plan for a QIP in May, and the proposal was approved by its shareholders on 13 June. The issue opened for subscription on 16 July with a floor price of ₹ 811.05. Shares of the bank ended 0.2% higher today at ₹ 824.60 on the NSE. On the day of the launch of the QIP issue, SBI had also announced board approval to raise up to ₹ 20,000 crore through Basel III-compliant additional Tier-I (AT1) and Tier-II bonds, in one or more tranches. SBI was the largest issuer of bank bonds in FY25, raising a cumulative ₹ 27,500 crore. Of this, ₹ 5,000 crore through AT1 bonds and ₹ 22,500 crore through multiple tranches of tier-II bonds. With the estimated fundraising for FY26, the public sector lender is expected to be the largest bond issuer this year, as well, as per Mint's report. Against the regulatory requirement of 12.1%, SBI's capital adequacy ratio, or risk buffer, was 14.25% at the end of March, slightly lower than 14.28% a year ago. The bank still lags peers like HDFC Bank (19.6%) and Bank of Baroda (17.2%), which is the likely cause for the ongoing fund-raising drive. SBI's consolidated common equity Tier 1 ratio (CET1) improved to 11.1% as of March this year from 10.3% as of March 2022, Moody's India said in a note earlier on Monday, adding that the bank's plan to raise new equity capital and capital gains from the partial sale of its stake in YES Bank will help improve the CET1 ratio further, supporting its balance sheet buffers. The ratings agency said funding and liquidity will continue to be SBI's credit strengths, as the largest bank in India with 23% deposit market share, with most funding coming from retail deposits. In May 2025, SBI had announced that it plans to sell over 413 crore equity shares of YES Bank, or 13.19% stake, to Japan-based Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. (SMBC) for ₹ 8,889 crore. SBI's strongest retail franchise amongst Indian banks, access to low-cost deposits, and sufficient holdings of liquid government securities support its funding and liquidity, Moody's said. The ratings agency upgraded SBI's Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) and Adjusted BCA to 'baa3' from 'ba1', with a stable outlook on the ratings. 'The upgrade of the bank's BCA is driven by our expectation that the bank's internal capital generation, along with opportunistic external capital raise, will improve its capitalization over the next 12-18 months, bringing its standalone credit profile in line with the other similarly rated peers,' the note said, pegging the bank's loan growth at 12% for FY26, in line with the industry level growth.

Nayara weighs legal options against EU curbs
NEW DELHI: Nayara Energy on Monday said it is exploring legal options to protect its 'operations, employees and stakeholders' from the European Union's 'unjust and unilateral' restrictions and assured assured against any supply disruption from the company's refinery in Gujarat. 'We are actively exploring all legal and appropriate avenues to address this situation and to protect the interests of our operations, employees, and our stakeholders,' India's largest private sector fuel retailer said in a statement. The EU on Friday sanctioned the company's refinery with an annual capacity of processing 20 million tonne at Vadinar as the grouping targeted Russian oil exports with a slew of fresh curbs. Russia's Rosneft has a 49% stake in Nayara, which is also India's largest private sector fuel retailer with a network of 6,750 petrol pumps. 'Every aspect of our business, including all domestic operations, continues to function normally. We have taken comprehensive measures to guarantee seamless continuity and stability across all business verticals,' the company said. Describing itself as an Indian entity, the company said the sanctions have no legal basis and it operates in compliance with Indian laws and regulations. 'We are deeply committed to supporting the nation's energy security and fostering economic growth,' it said. The company called out the EU for double-standard saying, 'while many European countries continue to import Russian energy through various sources, they take a high moral ground by chastising and sanctioning an Indian asset for processing Russian crude largely used by its domestic population of 1.4 billion Indians and businesses.' India had also opposed the curbs, saying it 'does not subscribe to any unilateral sanction measures'. We categorically state that this unilateral move by the European Union is founded on baseless assertions, representing an undue extension of authority that ignores both international law and the sovereignty of India. 'Such actions not only undermine India's interests, but also risk disrupting the uninterrupted supply of petroleum products that are essential to millions of Indian citizens and industries,' Nayara said. Nayara pointed out that it is a major taxpayer in India and has 'since August 2017 has contributed over Rs 2.5 lakh crore in cumulative direct and indirect taxes to help build India's growth story'.
