The EBLR of SBI climbed to 8.05%, and the RLLR increased by 50 basis points to 7.65%
New Delhi: On Monday, the State Bank of India (SBI) increased its benchmark lending rates by up to 50 basis points, which is equal to 0.5 per cent. This action will cause borrowers’ monthly instalment payments, or EMIs, to go higher.
This latest boost in interest rates comes just a few days after the Reserve Bank of India increased its benchmark lending rate by 50 basis points to bring inflation in check.
The External Benchmark-based Lending Rate (EBLR) and the Repo-Linked Lending Rate (RLLR) have both been raised by 50 basis points, but the Marginal Cost of funds-based Lending Rate (MCLR) has only been increased by 20 basis points throughout the whole.
