Effect of increasing or decreasing MCLR
Whenever a bank changes its MCLR (Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate), it directly impacts the EMI of floating rate loans like home loans, personal loans and car loans.
If the bank increases the MCLR, then the interest rate of the loan increases. This means that you will have to pay more EMI every month. However, if the bank reduces the MCLR, then the interest rates decrease and your EMI also decreases. This also benefits those who want to take a new loan, because they can get a cheaper loan than before.
How is MCLR decided?
Banks consider several factors to determine MCLR, such as deposit rate, repo rate, operational cost and cash reserve ratio (CRR). When RBI changes the repo rate, it directly affects MCLR. If the repo rate decreases, banks can also reduce MCLR, which can make loans cheaper. On the other hand, if the repo rate increases, MCLR also increases and the loan EMI becomes expensive.
