RBI rationalised the risk weights on housing loans.

• Currently, differential risk weights are applicable to individual housing loans, based on the size of the loan as well as the loan-to-value ratio (LTV).
• RBI has decided to rationalise the risk weights and link them to LTV ratios only for all new housing loans sanctioned up to March 31, 2022.
• This measure is expected to give a fillip to the real estate sector.
