What is MCLR
RBI implemented MCLR on 1 April 2016. It is the minimum lending rate below which a bank is not permitted to lend. So, MCLR is an internal reference rate for banks to determine the interest they can levy on loans.
Benefits of MCLR
The MCLR allows RBI interest rate modifications to be notified to borrowers relatively quickly, with monthly updates to the MCLR.
On October 6, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das announced the Monetary Policy Committee’s (MPC) decision to maintain the repo rate for the fourth consecutive time and keep it unchanged at 6.5%.
