Bank Interest Rate: HDFC Bank, the country’s largest private bank, has recently increased the Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) by 5-10 basis points. Due to this, the 1 year MCLR (to which most retail loans are linked) has increased from 8.35% to 8.40%. Similarly, the maximum increase for loans with a tenure of 2 years has been increased by 10bps, which is now 8.55%.
Let us tell you that despite the Reserve Bank of India recently keeping the repo rate stable at 5.25%, banks have increased the MCLR (Marginal Cost of Funds-Based Lending Rate) due to the pressure of their funding cost. This will have a direct impact on the monthly EMI of customers taking home loan, car loan and personal loan.

With this step of banks, now personal loans or home loans will be offered to new customers at higher interest rates than before.
