Factors Influencing MCLR and Loan Impact
Several factors, including deposit rates, repo rates, operational costs, and the cost of maintaining cash reserve ratios, contribute to the determination of MCLR.
Changes in the repo rate directly affect MCLR, subsequently impacting loan interest rates and increasing EMIs for borrowers.
The revised MCLR rates came into effect from November 7, 2023, as per information available on the HDFC Bank website.
Implications for Loan Customers
The increase in MCLR is expected to affect the interest rates on various loan products, such as home loans, auto loans, and personal loans.
Both existing and new loan customers may experience higher EMIs, leading to increased financial obligations.
This announcement from HDFC Bank comes as a surprise for customers as they navigate their financial plans for the year, creating a potential financial challenge for many.
