Interest Rates on SBI Personal Loans

As of July 2025, SBI’s personal loan interest rates are linked to the 2-year Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (MCLR), which is currently 9.05 per cent (effective from March 14, this year).

On top of this, the bank adds a spread ranging from 1.25 per cent to 6.25 per cent, depending on your credit score, income, employer category, and your relationship with the bank. This brings the effective interest rate to a range between 10.30 per cent and 15.30 per cent per annum.

Processing fees

As per Mint, SBI charges a processing fee of up to 1.5 per cent of the loan amount, which can vary from Rs 1,000 to Rs 15,000, plus GST. If you choose to repay your loan early (for fixed-rate loans), you will need to pay a foreclosure fee of 3 per cent of the prepaid amount.

Meanwhile, missed EMIs attract a penal charge of 2 per cent per month on the overdue amount. In addition, actual charges can vary based on your profile.
