New Delhi: State-owned Canara Bank has reduced lending rates by 15 basis points despite hike in repo rate by Reserve Bank earlier this week. The revised Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR) of the bank with effect from February 12, Canara Bank said in a regulatory filing on Friday.

Following the rate cut, the new RLLR will be 9.25 percent compared to the existing 9.40 percent. On Wednesday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked the benchmark policy rate by 25 basis points to 6.5 percent, citing sticky core inflation.
