With lower interest rate, the bank targeted at disbursing home loan in 1,500 accounts under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The average ticket size for home loan in the circle is Rs 22 lakh.

Following the revision in rate, the lender will charge 8.35 per cent on women borrowers and 8.40 per cent for other borrowers with loan amount of up to Rs 30 lakh.
