Published policy and card rates — RBI repo, SBI slabs, PMAY-U 2.0 subsidy — plus the calculators to turn a card into an EMI. Confirm every figure with the lender.
Each step opens a real page or tool — nothing here is a certificate or a sanction.
The 62nd MPC (5 Aug 2026) held the repo at 5.25%. Floating loans reset off the bank’s external benchmark, not the repo itself.
RBI briefingSBI listed 8.60% for CIBIL ≥750 as of 13 Sep 2026 on a public aggregator. That is a card, not a sanction.
SBI cardA 25 bps gap on a ₹75 lakh, 20-year loan is several thousand rupees a month.
EMI calculatorInterest subsidy up to ₹1.80 lakh for eligible urban buyers. The old 1.0 MIG figure of ₹2.35 lakh is closed.

Aggregator tables updated 13 September 2026 list SBI's term-loan / MaxGain home-loan rate at 8.60% for borrowers with CIBIL ≥ 750, stepping to 8.70% (700–749) and 9.45% (650–699). Concessions of 5–20 bps apply on selected products (MaxGain, defence). These are published card rates, not a sanctioned offer — confirm on homeloans.sbi before you budget an EMI. They sit above the 5.25% repo because bank spreads and the external benchmark have not fully compressed.
A stage-by-stage checklist for buying in Hyderabad / Telangana: budget against a real EMI (repo is 5.25% as of August 2026 — confirm your bank's card), loan pre-approval, TS-RERA number match on rera.telangana.gov.in, Encumbrance Certificate and prohibited-land (Sec. 22A) check, stamp duty on registration.telangana.gov.in, and possession documents. Printable per stage. Not legal advice.
The 62nd Monetary Policy Committee (3–5 August 2026) kept the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25% and retained a neutral stance. The standing deposit facility stays at 5.00% and the MSF / Bank Rate at 5.50%. Governor Sanjay Malhotra said a change in stance would depend on growth–inflation dynamics. FY27 GDP was pegged at 6.7% and CPI at 5.0%. Floating-rate home-loan EMIs therefore stay on the current reset until the next review.
What a Hyderabad / Telangana residential rental agreement should carry: parties, premises, rent, deposit, lock-in, notice, inventory. Points to the state requirement for police verification of tenants in many urban police limits, and to leave-and-licence vs lease. Templates are starting points — have a local advocate vet the draft. Not a substitute for registration where the tenure requires it.
Knight Frank's India residential research, as cited in 2026 market commentary, pegs Hyderabad citywide capital values at about +13% year-on-year — second only to NCR (~23%). The basket is registration-weighted and premium-heavy: above-₹1-crore registrations rose even as overall volumes cooled. Micro-markets diverge — Gachibowli is quoted around ₹11,100–₹11,700 / sq.ft (+7–9% YoY) while Kokapet asking rates sit higher. Use this as a city-level signal, not a pin-level appraisal.
2026 locality guides put Gachibowli apartments around ₹8,000–₹12,500 per sq.ft (average near ₹11,100), with the premium edge toward Jubilee Hills / Madhapur quoting ₹12,000–₹18,000. Rental yields in the mature Gachibowli / Financial District belt are commonly cited at ~3.5–6%, tighter vacancy than Kokapet's still-maturing rental stock. Supply of brand-new launches is thinner than in Kokapet — a stability signal, and a reason resale quotes matter as much as pre-launch decks.
PMAY-Urban 2.0 (notified 1 September 2024, running to 31 March 2029) replaced the closed PMAY-U 1.0 CLSS. Eligible EWS / LIG / selected MIG households with no pucca house can get an interest subsidy of up to ₹1.80 lakh (4% on the first ₹8 lakh of the loan, tenure up to 12 years). SBI, NHB and HUDCO are the central nodal agencies. Apply through an empanelled lender and track on the PMAY-U portal — do not rely on a 1.0 MIG figure of ₹2.35 lakh, which belongs to the old scheme.
