New Home Loans Linked to External Benchmarks
According to the Reserve Bank’s rules, now the home loans of banks are linked to the Marginal Cost Lending Rate (MCLR) and Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR). In 2019, RBI had asked all banks to link new home loans to external benchmarks, as banks were not passing on the full benefit of RBI’s reduction in repo rate to customers. Let us tell you, during the Corona epidemic, the Reserve Bank made a major cut of 115 basis points (0.75 percent in March 2020 and 0.40 percent in May 2020) in interest rates to keep demand and growth.
