SBI personal loan interest rates are linked to the 2-year Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (MCLR), which stands at 9.05% as of 14 March 2025. The final interest rate is calculated by adding a spread ranging from 1.25% to 6.25% over this base rate.
Consequently, the effective personal loan interest rate offered by SBI falls between 10.30% and 15.30%, depending on factors such as the borrower's credit score, the type of employer, and the specific loan scheme chosen.
Do keep in mind that your SBI personal loan EMI depends on a host of factors such as loan amount, interest rate, repayment tenure. That is why a higher loan or rate means a higher EMI. You can use SBI's official EMI calculator available on the SBI website to get quick estimates. Credit score: A credit score of over 750 can help you secure lower interest rates. Employment type: Government and defence employees may receive better rates. Monthly income: Higher consistent income can improve your eligibility criteria. Employer category: Working in PSU or Category 'A' firms can help with better offers. Loan amount & tenure: Larger loans or longer terms can influence the final rate.

‘Very close to a trade deal,' Trump says after meeting Philippine leader Marcos at White House
US President Donald Trump met with his Philippine counterpart Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the White House on Tuesday as both leaders discussed strengthening economic and security ties, according to the Associated Press (AP). Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said the two countries were nearly finished negotiating a new agreement. 'We're very close to finishing a trade deal, big trade deal, actually,' Trump said. Marcos responded by calling the United States the Philippines' 'strongest partner.' He added, 'This has evolved into as important a relationship as is possible to have.' When asked how he would balance his country's ties with both the US and China, Marcos said, 'There is no need to balance because our foreign policy is an independent one.' The meeting comes as the US shifts more of its economic and military focus to the Asia-Pacific region. Marcos is the first Southeast Asian leader to visit Trump during his second term. Before Tuesday's talks with Trump, Marcos also met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. Marcos said he would propose a trade deal that is fair and beneficial to both countries. 'The Philippines is ready to negotiate a bilateral trade deal that will ensure strong, mutually beneficial and future-oriented collaborations,' he said on Sunday before leaving for Washington, according to his office. Trump has threatened to impose 20 per cent tariffs on Philippine goods starting 1 August if a deal is not reached. Philippine Finance Secretary Ralph Recto told local media that Manila may offer zero tariffs on some US goods to help finalise the agreement. The White House said Trump and Marcos would also talk about their shared goal of maintaining a 'free, open, prosperous and secure Indo-Pacific,' AP noted. At the Pentagon, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the US remained committed to its mutual defence treaty with the Philippines. 'Our storied alliance has never been stronger or more essential than it is today,' he said. 'This pact extends to armed attacks on our armed forces, aircraft or public vessels, including our Coast Guard anywhere in the Pacific, including the South China Sea.' Marcos said the treaty remains a central part of the relationship between the two countries. He also thanked the US for its support amid what he called 'threats' facing the Philippines. He said joint military exercises and US assistance in upgrading the Philippines' armed forces have expanded since Hegseth's visit to Manila in March. China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan all claim parts of the South China Sea, one of the world's busiest shipping routes. The Philippines has accused China's coast guard of using water cannons to block its boats. In May, Hegseth told a security forum in Singapore that the US is focusing on 'deterring aggression by Communist China.' On Monday, Marcos and Secretary of State Rubio also discussed supply chains and regional peace. Rubio recently met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of a regional forum in Malaysia. According to AP, both sides agreed to keep communication open and explore possible areas of cooperation.

India, Maldives in discussions to negotiate free trade pact: Foreign secy
India and Maldives are currently "in discussions" to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement as well as an investment treaty to bolster the economic ties between the two nations, coupled with new areas of collaboration such as renewable energy and fisheries, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated on Tuesday. Addressing a press briefing ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the Maldives, Misri elaborated on the burgeoning economic relationship between the two countries, noting that India was one of the biggest trade partners of the Maldives, with bilateral trade reaching nearly $500 million, with Indian investments already in Maldivian sectors like tourism. "On the economic front, India is one of the largest trading partners of the Maldives. The bilateral trade is nearly $500 million, and Indian investors remain part of sectors such as tourism in the Maldives and other economic activities. On the economic front, one recent development which I would like to share with you is that both countries are in discussions to negotiate a free trade agreement and an investment treaty as well, and new areas of cooperation, including renewable energy, fisheries, etc., are also being worked on," Misri stated. Beyond trade, Misri highlighted India's role as a traditional development partner for the Maldives, executing projects through concessional lines of credit, grants, and buyer's credit facilities. He emphasised that the flagship Greater Male Connectivity Project, which connects four islands of the Maldives, is poised to transform the region's infrastructure, while mentioning other initiatives include roads, airports, fisheries processing units, and social housing projects tailored to the Maldives' priorities. "One of the largest areas of bilateral cooperation is the development partnership between the two countries. India has been a traditional development partner of the Maldives, executing various initiatives through a mix of lines of credit at concessional rates, grants, and buyer's credit facilities, and also conducting capacity-building programmes in a number of areas," the Foreign Secretary said. "The flagship project that is underway currently is the Greater Male Connectivity Project, which has the potential to be an infrastructure game changer in the Greater Male region, connecting four islands of the Maldives. There are also projects underway in the area of roads, airports, fisheries processing units and others. We are also alleviating the pressure by helping with social housing as per the needs and priorities of the Maldives," he added. Misri also noted India's financial support, including a $400 million and Rs 30 billion twin currency swap arrangement during Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu's visit last year, alongside the State Bank of India's continued subscription to Maldivian treasury bills. "We've extended a considerable amount of emergency financial assistance to the Government of Maldives, including through instruments such as the twin currency swap arrangements that were done when President Muizzu was also here for $400 million as well as Rs 30 billion. In addition, the State Bank of India has continued to resubscribe to Maldives's treasury bills," the Foreign Secretary said. The partnership between the two nations also extends to capacity-building, with the Maldives being a major beneficiary of Indian scholarships and training programmes. In defence and security, India supports the Maldives through training programmes, naval exercises, and assets for maritime domain awareness, including ships for Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) surveillance. "India continues to assist Maldives in building its capacity to train Maldives defence personnel, and a lot of this is done through regular training programmes and naval exercises between the two countries. We've been helping Maldives enhance its capacity for EEZ surveillance and maritime domain awareness through the provision of ships and assets. The two countries are also cooperating under the gamut of the Colombo security conclave," he noted. Misri further underscored the multifaceted India-Maldives relationship, stating, "The relationship with the Maldives is comprehensive and multifaceted. It's been paid attention to by leadership at the highest levels, and we believe that this visit by the Prime Minister will contribute further to consolidating these strong ties and contribute to peace, prosperity, and security in the Indian Ocean region." According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the Maldives has been a very close and important partner in India's neighbourhood as part of New Delhi's neighbourhood-first policy as well as its MAHASAGAR Vision. Notably, ties between New Delhi and Male were strained after Maldivian officials made derogatory remarks about Prime Minister Modi in early January last year. However, during the visit of Maldivian Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer in April 2024, Zameer distanced his government from the derogatory remarks made by these officials, stating that it was not the government's stance and that "proper action" had been taken to ensure it was not repeated. PM Modi will embark on his two-nation tour of the UK and the Maldives from July 23 to July 26, the MEA had said on Sunday. He will be visiting the Maldives on July 25 on a state visit at the invitation of President Mohamed Muizzu. He has been invited as the 'Guest of Honour' for the 60th Anniversary celebrations of the Independence of Maldives on July 26. Notably, the visit by PM Modi comes at a historic juncture as New Delhi and Male are marking their 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties. This will be the Prime Minister's third visit to the Maldives and the first visit by a Head of State or Government to the Maldives during the Presidency of Mohamed Muizzu.
