Home loans inquiries slowing; marked increase in unsecured credit: Report

Home loans, the mainstay of retail lending, witnessed a dip in demand in the December quarter, a credit information company (CIC) said on Wednesday. However, there has been a 'marked increase' in demand for credit cards and personal loans, which constitute the more stressful unsecured loans portfolio for banks, Transunion Cibil said. The demand for unsecured lending products is being driven by the adoption of consumption-led credit products, the CIC said. Inquiry volumes for home loans for the three months ending December 2022 were 1 per cent lower than the year-ago period, while the same for personal loans and credit cards shot up by 50 per cent and 77 per cent, respectively, it added. From a loan origination perspective, home loans witnessed a 6 per cent dip by volume and 2 per cent by value in the December quarter against a healthy uptick in personal loans, credit cards and two-wheeler loans segment. It can be noted that the period saw a surge in interest rates, which led to ..

Share of industrial loans in bank credit on decline, personal loans up: RBI

The share of industrial loans in total credit has been gradually declining over the last decade while that of personal loans is on the rise, the Reserve Bank said on Wednesday. Both industrial and personal loans had nearly 27 per cent credit share each in March 2022, as per the 'Basic Statistical Return on Credit by Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) in India March 2022' released by the RBI. Meanwhile, loans to the industrial sector recorded 4.7 per cent growth in 2021-22 after witnessing a decline in the previous year. Earlier this month, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman nudged the corporate sector to increase investment in the manufacturing sector. The RBI further said as credit demand from the retail segment has become more distinct in recent years, the portion of small-sized loans is also going up steadily. The share of loans up to Rs one crore has surged to nearly 48 per cent in March 2022 from around 39 per cent five years ago, whereas the share of loans above Rs 10 crore

Auto, home and personal loans become expensive with banks raising rates

Auto, home and personal loans have become costlier with banks and other financial institutions increasing interest rates following the repo rate hike by RBI on Wednesday. A number of banks including ICICI Bank, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank (PNB), Bank of India, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank and the country's leading mortgage lender HDFC Ltd have raised lending rates for their customers. Repo is the rate at which RBI lends to banks for their short-term borrowing needs. In its June 8 second bi-monthly monetary policy meeting review for FY23, RBI raised the benchmark repo rate by 50 basis points to 4.90 per cent with immediate effect. It followed an off-cycle rate hike of 40 basis points in May to rein in the soaring inflation in the country, mainly triggered by supply side woes due to Russia-Ukraine war. Private sector lender ICICI Bank raised the repo linked External Benchmark Lending Rate (EBLR) with effect from June 8, 2022 to 8.60 per cent from 8.10 per cent ...
