Kotak Bank, Axis Bank Join Bank of Baroda and SBI In Hiking Lending Rates; Know Them Here

Bank of Baroda was the first bank to hike MCLR-based lending rate, and then SBI followed suit. Now, Kotak Bank and Axis Bank have also increased their lending rates.

Private sector banks, Axis Bank and Kotak Bank have become the latest banks to increase their lending rates based on the marginal cost of lending rate (MCLR).

Bank of Baroda had last week increased the marginal cost of lending rate by 0.05 per cent. They were followed by State Bank of India, India’s largest bank, which increased its MCLR on loans by 0.1 per cent. 

MCLR rate is the minimum rate at which banks can offer their loan products to customers. Thus, when the MCLR rate increases, the floating rate as well as all loans benchmarked to the MCLR rate increases. So, new borrowers would now have to pay more interest to borrow funds, and existing borrowers will have to pay more on their equated monthly instalments (EMIs) on loan once their loan date reset arrives.
