What is MCLR

If banks increase or decrease MCLR, there is a facility for new borrowers. Apart from this, it affects the customers who have taken loans after April 2016.

Explain that before April 2016, the minimum rate fixed by the Reserve Bank for lending was called base rate. This means that banks could not give loans to the customer at a lower rate.

The MCLR was implemented in the banking system from 1 April 2016 and became the lowest rate for loans. After that, loans were started on the basis of MCLR only.
