The State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest public sector bank, has given good news to its customers just before Navratri.
SBI has revised its MCLR (Marginal Cost of Funds-based Lending Rate). This time, the bank has not increased or decreased the MCLR.
Since home and car loan rates are linked to MCLR, it means there will be no change in EMIs for these loans. The new rates have been effective from September 15th.
