#2, those ROIs seem old, the ones mentioned in #3 are current.
MBM, I have taken a home loan from ICICI. One of the important things that I learnt after taking the "fixed" ROI loan is that the ROI is _not_ really fixed! As with everything else, banks ensure that the odds are loaded in their favor, always. If the fixed ROI goes up by more than 2.5%, the bank can readjust your "fixed" ROI to the prevailing "fixed" ROI. Of course, the banks didn't apply the same theory when the rates were going down.
My experience of dealing with ICICI has not been good at all. Making additional payments (pre-payments) to reduce the outstanding loan amount, is a BIG pain with ICICI, at least in Bangalore. I had to wait for over 4 hours to make the payment!!!
ICICI has an electronic machine for disbursing token numbers for various services. The token numbers for pre-payment were advancing like one in an hour whereas for other services the token numbers were advancing at a rapid pace! When finally my turn came, I asked the lady if that's their ploy to discourage people from making pre-payments, she just smiled. Additionally, you can't make pre-payments electronically, nor can you mail them the checks -- you have to go to their branch office (just one in Bangalore) to make the payment personally.

Never ever go to HSBC they are the worst in my experience.
It was a nightmare dealing with those guys.
Try HDFC, I guess that they have a more stable process.
There was this one guy who was very genuine, prompt in delivery timing and really very helpful while working with HDFC.
I referred two other friends of mine to him and I got positive feed back from them too..
His name is Giri - 9884375333

Thanks. If you happen to talk to him, please refer 'R2i' club to him. We will contact him for our requirements.
This group is great to build such 'Good database' of lawer, Insurance agent and builders (and of course R2i-chennai friends).
RRK:
In future, you may post these references in another master thread (like you have it in your home-page).

Can NRI's get these bank loans, any issues in that? Typically how long does it take for the whole process?

Traveller:
I took a loan from HDFC about 3 years ago and over all I must say I did not have any negative experience.
In fact, the guys came to my residence in Adyar, explained the whole process and came well prepared. After I returned to Canada, I simply faxed them the documentation and loan was to be approved after registration.
However, the actual loan approval took a long time, I kept blaming the bank for the delay only to find later that there was "villangam" with the documents. They did a thorogh job checking the titles, liens and so on, and in retrospect, I am glad they did that otherwise I would have forced the seller to register the property hastily. HDFC charges a fee to validate all the documents, and it is worth every penny.
Not sure how the other banks treat the loan processing; but I will go back to hdfc if I need to.
