ICICI BANK UK said it is facilitating home loans in India through its parent ICICI Bank for the Indian diaspora based in Britain.

According to it, non-resident Indians (NRIs), overseas citizens of India (OCIs) or persons of Indian origin (PIO) based in the UK, can avail home loans to buy residential and commercial properties in India without travelling to the south Asian country.

ICICI Bank has also enabled its online platform for salaried NRI customers to get a provisional sanction letter digitally.

The online platform provides customers “an opportunity to avail competitive interest rates and discounted processing fees”, the bank said in a statement.

It claimed the currency conversion rate between Pound Sterling and the Indian rupee now is “much better for a rupee buyer” than a year ago, which “further weighs in favour of buyers living in the UK”.

ICICI Bank UK said it has a dedicated team based in Britain to assist homebuyers looking to avail a home loan in India.

Customers can get in touch with ICICI Bank UK PLC branches or visit its website www.icicibank.co.uk, it added.

ICICI Bank is the second-largest Indian private sector lender by market capitalisation and the fifth most valuable Indian entity listed on exchanges.

Wage growth excluding bonuses slowed to 5.2 per cent, the weakest pace since the three months to September, and fell more than expected from 5.5 per cent in January to March this year.

India approves Starlink’s entry amid Musk’s global challenges

ELON MUSK’S Starlink has received a licence to launch commercial operations in India from the telecoms ministry, two sources told Reuters last Friday (6), clearing a major hurdle for the satellite provider that has long wanted to enter the south Asian country.

The approval is good news for Musk, whose public spat with president Donald Trump threatens $22 billion (£16.3bn) of SpaceX’s contracts and space programmes with the US government. Starlink is the third company to get a licence from India’s Department of Telecommunications, which has approved similar applications by Eutelsat’s OneWeb and Reliance Jio to provide services in the country.
