SBI increases lending rates on loans from today, EMI will go up | Rare Techy

SBI’s three-month overnight MCLR rate has increased from 7.15% to 7.35%. SBI’s six-month MCLR goes from 7.65% to 7.45%, one-year to 7.7%, from 7.5%, two-year to 7.9% from 7.7% and three-year to 8% from 7.8%.

Last month, SBI had raised the marginal cost of fund-based lending rates by 10 basis points across various tenors.

MCLR came in April 2016 where banks were given a formula to calculate their cost of funds and then conduct monthly reviews of their offerings across various tenors. Each bank calculates its own MCLR and takes into account factors such as its incremental cost of raising funds (say through deposits) and operational costs.

The MCLR was then replaced by an external benchmark linked rate so that the lending rate was directly synchronized with policy moves. All current rate bank loans are linked to MCLR or external benchmark lending rate (EBLR) or base rate.

EBLR loans should be linked to an external benchmark, which is the repo rate (the rate at which RBI lends to banks) in the case of retail loans. A bank’s EBLR is the repo rate plus a spread plus a credit risk premium.
