Hyderabad to Singapore at Rs.467!
Yes, it is quite possible now. State Bank of India, with its logo highlighting the theme ?biggest bank serving even the smallest man? came up with a novel personal finance scheme along with Air India and Singapore Tourism Development Board.
The dream to travel to Singapore on a platter before the Hyderabad! The Holiday Package ?SBI Travel Scheme to Singapore? , exclusively for the people of Andhra Pradesh, has been launched in the city on an experimental basis. This loan is offered at the interest rate of 12.75%.
The details of the schemes are:
Scheme Total cost EMI Period Facilities
Scheme A Rs.17,500 467 48 Mts Air Fare only
Scheme B Rs.20,600 550 48 Mts Air Fare accommodation for 4 days at Metropolitan YMCA, breakfast, half-day city tour & One lunch
Scheme C Rs.22,000 587 48 Mts Air Fare accommodation for 4 days at Three-Star Hotel, breakfast, half-day city tour & One lunch
How to reach Singapore?
A customer can approach the nearest branch (either to residence or to the place of work) of State Bank of India to get the information and details of the scheme. The customer has to provide proof of income to be eligible for this personal loan.
What Next?
After scrutinising the documents, the concerned branch issues an eligibility certificate. This certificate is valid with all IATA accredited travel agents. Depending upon the travel date, the travel agent completes all the travel arrangements and informs the bank. Then the bank issues a cheque directly to the travel agent. So this completes the financial hassle!
Vishwa Yatra Card: Will be issued to the customer for the requested amount (within his eligibility limit). This card serves as an ATM for his shopping and other expenses during his stay in Singapore.
