SBI Cuts MCLR by 5-10 BPS for Short-Term Loans

Marking a fourteenth consecutive reduction in rates, the State Bank of India (SBI) has announced a 5-10 bps cut in its marginal cost-based lending rate (MCLR) for shorter tenor loans up to three months. The new lending rates will be effective from July 10, 2020.

The SBI’s overnight, 1 month and 3 months MCLRs are now revised at 6.65 per cent p.a. It is at par with SBI’s External Benchmark based Lending Rate (EBLR). Thus, if your Home Loan’s reset date is in July you will tap the benefit of reduced rate.
