Punjab National Bank publishes a processing fee of 0.35% of the loan, with a minimum of ₹2,500 and a cap of ₹15,000. That cap matters more than the percentage on any loan above about ₹43 lakh, where the fee stops rising.

What sits outside the processing fee
Where a fee is quoted exclusive of tax, add 18% GST to get what you actually pay. Legal and technical valuation charges, CERSAI registration and any bundled insurance sit outside the processing fee and are quoted separately at sanction — ask for the full schedule in writing before you sign, not after.
Closing the loan early is the one charge you do not have to accept. The RBI does not allow a foreclosure or prepayment penalty on a floating-rate loan to an individual borrower, and loan foreclosure and charges sets out where that protection starts and stops. The wider set of things a lender cannot do to you is in borrower rights.
How it compares
On price, Punjab National Bank is the joint 5th cheapest of the 12 providers we track for a home loan, 0.10 percentage points above Canara Bank and Union Bank of India at 7.15%. Among the other public sector banks in our set, Canara Bank and Union Bank of India start at 7.15%, Bank of Baroda at 7.20% and State Bank of India at 7.25%. The rate itself, with its range and date, is on the PNB home loan interest rate page, and every lender’s standing figure is on home loan interest rates.
A fee of ₹15,000 is small against the interest on a 20-year loan, so do not let it decide the lender. Price the rate difference first in the EMI calculator; the fee is a rounding error beside a quarter of a point.
