LIC Balance Transfer — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about LIC's balance transfer product.
When should I consider a balance transfer?
Consider a BT when: (a) another bank offers a rate at least 0.25-0.50% lower, (b) you are in the early years of your loan tenure (more interest left to save), (c) your CIBIL score has improved since the original loan, or (d) you want to top-up and another bank offers better combined terms.
How much can I save with a home loan balance transfer?
A 0.50% rate reduction on a Rs 50 Lakh loan with 20 years remaining can save Rs 6-8 Lakhs in total interest. The exact savings depend on outstanding amount, remaining tenure, and the rate difference. Money Matrix Hub provides a free savings analysis.
What are the costs involved in a balance transfer?
Costs include: processing fee (0.25-0.50% of outstanding), property valuation fee (Rs 5,000-15,000), legal verification fee, and MODT/registration charges in some states. Many banks waive processing fees as a special offer — ask Money Matrix Hub for current fee-waiver deals.
Can I add a top-up loan with a balance transfer?
Yes. Most banks allow a top-up of 10-30% over the transferred amount (within property valuation limits). This is a popular way to get additional funds at home-loan rates rather than taking a separate personal or business loan.
Does a balance transfer affect my CIBIL score?
A balance transfer closes the old loan account and opens a new one, which may cause a minor temporary dip. However, the new lower EMI improves your debt-to-income ratio, which positively impacts your score within 2-3 months.
