Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • How is interest charged? When is interest charged on the Loan Account?

    Interest on your Loan Account is calculated based on daily balance outstanding and charged to your Loan Account on a monthly basis.

  • Does Citibank offer both variable and fixed Interest rates?

    Citibank offers loans only on Variable Interest rates. Please note that we do not offer loans on Fixed Interest Rates.

    Mentioned below are the answers to some important questions that you might have about Variable Interest Rates.

  • How does the variable interest rate work?

    The Variable interest rate is linked to a reference rate and changes with the change in the reference rate. Citibank currently offers 2 kinds of reference rates you can opt to link your loan to:

    • Marginal cost of funds based Lending Rate (MCLR)
    • Treasury Bill Benchmark linked Lending Rate (TBLR)

    Every time there is a change in the MCLR or TBLR, the Home Loan rate linked to that rate is also reset accordingly. This reset happens automatically at pre-set intervals without you having to call or write to us.

  • What is the significance of the Reference Rate?

    Lending institutions offer Variable Rate loans wherein interest is linked to a reference rate. Interest on your loan will change only if the reference rate the loan is linked to is changed.

    As mentioned above, at present Citibank offers 2 reference rates to which your loan can be linked to - Marginal cost of funds based Lending Rate (MCLR) or Treasury Bill Benchmark linked Lending Rate (TBLR).
