Actually, HDFC Bank has made some changes in its interest rates, which will directly affect the EMI. The bank has reduced loan rates of different tenures.

According to the information given on the bank’s website, MCLR has been reduced by 0.05% on some selected loans. After which the loan takers related to this are expected to benefit. After the cut in MCLR, HDFC Bank’s rates have now reduced from 8.15 percent to 8.10 percent on the basis of loan tenure. This loan depends on your loan tenure.

Benefit on short term loan
After this change brought by the bank, those people whose loan period is between six months to three years are going to benefit directly. Those people who have taken loan for a long period are not going to get any benefit from it. Especially the overnight and one month MCLR rates have been reduced from 8.15 percent to 8.10 percent. Three-month MCLR has reduced from 8.25 percent to 8.20 percent. So the MCLR rates for six months, one year, two years and three years remain the same.

Duration	old mclr	New MCLR	shift
overnight	8.15	8.10	0.5%
a month	8.15	8.10	0.5%
three months	8.25	8.20	0.5%
