The bank said these rates will be effective from November 7, 2017. The one-month, one-year and three-year tenor of loans have been reduced by 0.05 per cent each to 8 per cent, 8.40 per cent and 8.85 per cent, respectively.

For the overnight and six-month tenors, the MCLRs are unchanged at 8 per cent and 8.20 per cent, respectively. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) has also resolved to keep the existing rate of base rate unchanged at 9.70 per cent and benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) at 14 per cent, the bank added.

The MCLR system was adopted by banks in April 2016 and it is applicable on new loans. However, customers who took loan before this period can migrate to the MCLR system against their existing base rate based interest calculation methodology.
