Bank of India business loan interest rates are linked to the Base Rate which is 9.70% at present. The rates of interest charged by the Bank of India depend on various factors like the loan amount, tenure, credit rating (internal) of the borrowing unit. The applicable rate of interest is a combination of the one-year MCLR, a common Business Strategy Spread (BSS) factor and Credit Risk Premium (CRP). This CRP depends on the loan amount, loan tenure, and the credit risk rating of the borrower.
