What is a Home Loan Balance Transfer

Home loan balance transfer allows switching your existing loan to a new lender for lower interest rates, reduced EMIs, or better terms. Following the RBI's December 2025 repo rate cut to 5.25% (total 125 bps reduction this year), many banks have attractive offers, with no prepayment charges on floating loans from January 2026. Transfers often include top-up loans for additional funds at home loan rates.
