Aditya Birla Housing Finance launched Khushi, a customised home loan offering for women borrowers to help them on their path to home ownership while State Bank of India (SBI) has rolled out collateral-free loans to women under the brand Asmita.

Some of the key benefits include express loan sanction, customized solutions tailored to individual needs, unique ‘Track My Loan’ feature and 100 per cent digital onboarding and doorstep service.
Speaking on the initiative, Pankaj Gadgil, MD & CEO, Aditya Birla Housing Finance, said, “We believe true empowerment starts with financial independence. Today, we are proud to introduce ‘Khushi’ as a symbol of our commitment to this year’s International Women’s Day theme of Rights, Equality, and Empowerment for women. By removing financial barriers, we are simplifying homeownership and making it more accessible to help our women borrowers take full control of their financial future with confidence.”
