Loan Facilities provided by State bank of Travancore to NRIs What is a loan?

A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of financial assets over time, between the lender and the borrower. In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal, from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender at a later time. Typically, the money is paid back in regular installments, or partial repayments; in an annuity, each installment is the same amount. The loan is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which can also place the borrower under additional restrictions known as loan covenants.

Although this article focuses on monetary loans, in practice any material object might be lent. Acting as a provider of loans is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For other institutions, issuing of debt contracts such as bonds is a typical source of funding. Banks Base Rate has been fixed as 7.75% per annum with effect from 1st Jul 2010, in tune with the methodology suggested by RBI. All categories of loans and advances [including Bills], sanctioned/renewed on or after 1st Jul 2010, other than those specifically exempted, will be priced with reference to Base Rate. Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR):13.25 % p.a. (with effect from 01.12.2010)

The maximum spread over PLR will continue to be 4% for all advances other than consumer credit, clean advances, export credit and other exempted categories as per RBI directives. In the case of interest rate for loans with floating rates linked to BPLR/Base Rate, the interest rate is subject to change, with every increase or decrease in BPLR/Base Rate. Such change will be restricted to the extent of increase/decrease in BPLR/Base Rate.

Cash Key facility

The most convenient method of obtaining advance against deposits. Unlimited withdrawals permitted in a Current account upto 90% of the deposit amount and interest accrued. Cheque book facility is available.
