Pre-payment charges on home loans not affect business: SBI

State Bank of India said that closing down of pre-payment charges on home loan will not affect business. “Pre-payment charges make hardly any contributions to the revenue stream,”

SBI announced to do away with pre-payment penalties on housing loans with immediate effect. It had been charging about 2% of the outstanding amount as penalty if borrowers opted to foreclose their loans.
