New Delhi: State-owned Canara Bank on Friday raised the marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) by 5 basis points (0.05 percentage point), across tenors, making most of the consumer loans costlier.
The benchmark one-year tenor MCLR, which is used to price most consumer loans such as auto and personal, will be at 9 percent against the earlier rate of 8.95 percent, Canara Bank said in a regulatory filing.
The three-year MCLR will be 9.40 percent, while for two-year will be 9.30 percent, up 5 basis points.
Among others, the rate of one month, three month and six month tenors will be in the range of 8.35-8.80 percent. The MCLR on overnight tenor will be 8.25 percent against 8.20 percent.
The new rates are effective from August 12, 2024.
The rate hike has come a day after RBI kept its benchmark lending rate unchanged at 6.5 per cent for the ninth consecutive time.
