What is MCLR?
When you take a loan from a bank, the minimum rate of interest charged by the bank is called the base rate. The bank cannot give loan to anyone at a rate lower than the base rate. In place of this base rate, now banks are using MCLR. It is calculated on the basis of marginal cost of funds, term premium, operating expenses and cost of maintaining cash reserves ratio.
RBI retained the policy rate for the seventh time in a row
Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das has retained the repo rate and reverse repo rate for the seventh time in a row. The repo rate has been kept at 4 percent and the reverse repo rate at 3.35 percent.
