SBI hikes loan rates: Despite the RBI keeping the repo rates unchanged for eight consecutive times, the country's top bank SBI has increased the MCLR rates. This will increase the burden on the pockets of its crores of customers. Home loans and car loans will become expensive due to the 0.10 percent increase in MCLR rate by SBI. The new interest rates will be effective from July 15.
SBI's base lending rate MCLR is now between 8.10 and 9 percent. The overnight MCLR rate has been increased to 8.20 percent. SBI has increased the MCLR rate from 0.05 percent to 0.10 percent. This will have a direct impact on the EMI of home loans and car loans. Due to the increase in MCLR rate, new loans will become expensive.
