Before the policy rate announcement by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), numerous lenders has increased their Marginal Cost funds-based Lending Rate (MCLR) by a minimum of 10 basis points or 0.10%. While the State Bank of India hiked its MCLR across all loan tenures up to 3 years effective from 1 June 2018, top lender such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank have followed suit. Since the interest rate offered by banks on most of the retail loan products are linked to the MCLR, this hike is expected to cause their interest rates to increase as well. This, in turn, will further lead to an increment in the EMIs of the home loan, personal loan, and car loan borrowers.
As per the official website of SBI, the current 1-year MCLR that the bank offers is 8.25%. On the other hand, the 1-year MCLR offered by ICICI Bank stands at 8.40%. The 1-year MCLR offered by HDFC Bank varies according to its product while that of Kotak Bank is currently 8.90%.

State Bank of India (SBI) has caused a twist in the interest rate cycle by increasing the interest rate on its 1-year marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) by 20 basis points or 0.20%. Since the 1-year MCLR directly impacts the interest rate, this move is expected to cause retail loans such as car loan, personal loan, two-wheeler loan, education loan etc. to become more expensive. This is the first time that SBI has increased the benchmark lending rate since its implementation in April 2016. Additionally, Punjab National Bank and ICICI Bank has also increased their MCLR, but only by 15 basis points or 0.15%. On the other hand, HDFC Bank is likely to review its rates sometime in the near future.
