- Personal loan rate is second best of the 8 providers we track — 0.01 points off the best.

State Bank of India products, rated
We score each product against every other provider we track for it. The same formula runs on every bank on this site, and we publish it in full.
Home loan — 4.8 / 5
From 7.25% as a starting rate, with a maximum of 9.20%, priced off the repo-linked external benchmark (EBLR), on a fee of 0.35% with a minimum of ₹2,000. The cheapest provider we track for this product is Bank of Baroda at 7.20%, 0.05 percentage points cheaper. The SBI home loan pages break the rate, the EMI and the fees out separately, and best home loans puts it next to the rest of the board.
Personal loan — 5.0 / 5
From 10.00% as a starting rate, with a maximum of 15.30%, over terms of up to 6 years, on a fee of up to 1.5%. The cheapest provider we track for this product is HDFC Bank at 9.99%, 0.01 percentage points cheaper — a gap small enough that it will not decide the loan for you.
Fixed deposit — 2.0 / 5
Up to 6.45% for a regular customer on the 444 days (Amrit Vrishti) bucket, and 7.05% for senior citizens at 5–10 years. That ranks #12 of the 12 providers we track: the best payer, Suryoday Small Finance Bank, is at 8.25%, 1.80 percentage points better. If the deposit rate is what you are here for, compare SBI’s FD rates against the best FD interest rates before you book.
