Union Bank of India Drives Home‑Loan Awareness for Aspiring Buyers

On September 4, 2026, the Union Bank of India turned the Walchand Hirachand Hall at the IMC Chamber of Commerce into a bustling hub for anyone dreaming of owning a home. The event, dubbed ‘अपना घर, अपना सपना’ (Our Home, Our Dream), was aimed squarely at the Economically Weaker Sections, Low‑Income Groups and the broader middle‑income crowd.

Bank heavyweights were on hand: Executive Director Shri S Ramasubramanian, Chief General Manager & Zonal Head for Mumbai Shri B P Das, Retail Assets GM Dr Renu K Nair, and Regional Head Shri Ashwani Kumar Sinha. Their presence added gravitas, but the real focus was on making home‑loan jargon less intimidating.

Fifteen local builders set up stalls, and more than three‑hundred hopeful home‑buyers roamed the hall, picking up brochures, asking questions and, in some cases, walking away with an in‑principle sanction letter. It wasn’t just talk – the bank actually pre‑approved a handful of applications on the spot.

Dr Renu K Nair walked the crowd through the campaign’s perks: no processing fee, a flexible income‑assessment model that looks at transaction history, interest rates that reward good credit scores, and even financing options for home repairs or renovations. The aim, she said, was to stitch together a package that feels both affordable and transparent.

“Financial inclusion isn’t just a buzzword; it’s about giving people the tools to build assets,” Shri Ramasubramanian remarked, underscoring the bank’s broader mission of urban housing support. The day wrapped up with a brief vote of thanks from Shri Ashwani Kumar Sinha, but the ripple effect – more informed buyers, clearer loan pathways – will linger much longer.
