Indian Bank is all set to hike its MCLR by 10 to 20 bps across all tenors effective from 03.08.2022. The MCLR (Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate) is the lowest or minimum interest rate below which financial institutions are not permitted to grant loans, and as a result of the increase in the MCLR, existing and new borrowers of Indian Bank will have higher EMIs, adding to the burden on their personal finances.

The bank has said that as of August 3rd, the updated MCLR and TBLR will be in effect.

Borrowers who have taken out home, vehicle, and personal loans from any of the above banks, would have to pay higher equivalent monthly instalments (EMIs) in the upcoming months as a result of the rise in MCLR.
