Will Home Loan EMIs, Car Loan EMIs Increase after HDFC Bank MCLR Hike?
As a result of the HDFC Bank MCLR rate hike, housing, vehicles and personal loans are going to get more expensive as the EMIs will increase. However, existing home loan borrowers must note that the EMI will be revised only when the reset date of their loans arrive. The lender will increase or revise the interest rate on the borrowers’ home loans on the basis of prevailing MCLR when the reset date arrives. This means that if a person’s home loan is based on MCLR, and the reset date is in September, then he or she will have to pay the hiked EMIs from September. Till then, the borrower will pay on basis of their existing rates.
“The Marginal Cost of the Fund-Based Lending Rate or the MCLR is the minimum interest rate a financial institution needs to charge for a specific loan. It dictates the lower limit of the interest rate for a loan. This rate limit is set in stone for borrowers unless specified otherwise by the Reserve Bank of India,” said the HDFC Bank on its website. MCLR is dependent on the changes made to the RBI Repo rate.
