OREANDA-NEWS. March 1, 2011. HDFC has revised its floating interest rates on home loans for both existing and new customers with effect from 1st December 2010. This is in line with the rates of interest in the economy, which have hardened due to rising inflation and shrinking liquidity in the domestic market.
