SBI's revision of its marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) comes on the back of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s 1.1 percentage point reduction in the repo rate so far this year. Repo rate is the interest rate at which the central bank lends money to commercial banks.
SBI has also reduced its fixed deposit (FD) interest rates across all maturities. The FD rates have been reduced by 20-25 basis points (or 0.20-0.25 percentage point) across tenors in the retail segment, and bulk segment has seen a reduction of 10-20 basis points (or 0.10-0.20 percentage point).
