How does MCLR affect borrowers?
The MCLR is a benchmark rate used by banks to determine interest rates on various floating-rate loans, including home loans, personal loans, and auto loans. A decrease in MCLR translates to a potential drop in loan EMIs or a shorter loan tenure, benefiting borrowers in the long term. This will impact whether borrowers have chosen if it's a fixed loan or a floating rate loan.
What is MCLR
The Marginal Cost of the Fund-Based Lending Rate or the MCLR is the minimum interest rate a financial institution needs to charge for a specific loan. It dictates the lower limit of the interest rate for a loan. This rate limit is set in stone for borrowers unless specified otherwise by the Reserve Bank of India. The RBI introduced the MCLR in 2016.
