HDFC Bank Hikes MCLR: HDFC Bank has shocked millions of customers by increasing the interest rates on loans. Due to increase in MCLR rate, all types of loan holders including home loan, personal loan and auto loan will have to pay more EMI.
New Delhi: HDFC Bank has given a big blow to its borrowers by announcing an increase in loan interest rates. The bank has increased the benchmark marginal cost of funds based lending rates (MCLR) by up to 15 basis points on select tenures. In such a situation, the EMI of all types of floating loans including home loan, personal loan and auto loan will increase.
Several factors are taken into account while deciding MCLR which include deposit rate, repo rate, operating cost and cost of maintaining cash reserve ratio. The change in the repo rate affects the MCLR rate. Changes in MCLR affect the interest rate of the loan, which translates into an increase in the EMI of the borrower. According to HDFC Bank’s website, the new MCLR rates are being made effective from July 7, 2023.
