The MCLR is the benchmark lending rate used by domestic banks to establish interest rates on a variety of loans, including house loans, personal loans, and business loans. Each bank determines the MCLR based on its marginal cost of funds, which includes elements such as borrowing costs, operational expenses, and the targeted profit margin.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) launched the MCLR, a transparent approach for establishing lending rates, in April 2016 to replace the base rate scheme. It is determined by variables such as the repo rate, the bank’s operating costs, and the tenure premium.

How does MCLR revision impact customers?
MCLR is applied to home loans, auto loans, and personal loans. If the MCLR is hiked, the EMI (equated monthly installments) on loans gets costlier, and if it is lower, various loans get cheaper.
