Understanding MCLR
The lowest interest rate a bank can charge on a loan is called the Marginal Cost of Funds-Based Lending Rate (MCLR). By establishing a minimum interest rate threshold, it makes sure that the bank’s cost of funds is met. For borrowers, this rate is fixed unless otherwise specified by the Reserve Bank of India.
Prime Lending Rate and Base Rate
As of June 18, 2024, the benchmark prime lending rate of HDFC Bank is 17.90% annually. At the same time, as of June 18, 2024, the updated Base Rate is 9.40%.
