customers get relief due to cheaper EMI
Let us tell you that sbi home loans are linked to the External Benchmark Lending Rate (EBLR) and EBLR is linked to the repo rate. In such a situation, when the repo rate changes, SBI's EBLR is also affected. When the repo rate decreases, the EBLR decreases and the interest rates on home loans also become cheaper. On the other hand, EBLR increases when the repo rate increases. This increases the interest on home loans, which also increases the cost on EMI.
The current EBLR of bank of india-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>state bank of india is 8.15 percent. In such a situation, the rate of interest depends on many factors like CIBIL score of the customers, loan tenure. RBI cut the repo rate by 50 basis points on june 6, 2025 and with this it came down from 6.00 percent to 5.50 percent. CIBIL score is between 300-900. The higher your CIBIL score, the more likely it is to get a loan at a lower rate. home loan borrowers will benefit from this decision of sbi because if the interest on the loan is low, then the EMI will also be low. This will increase their savings. customers who have taken a loan on a floating rate linked to the repo rate linked rate (RLLR) will also get a reduction in EMI now. However, if you have taken a loan on a fixed rate, then you will not get the benefit of reduced interest rate.
No change made in MCLR
sbi has also talked about not making any change in the Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) during this period. This is the minimum interest rate below which the bank cannot give loan to its customers, so if your loan is linked to MCLR, then the rates will remain the same. The MCLR for one year is 9.00 percent, for six months it is 8.90 percent, for three months it is 8.55 percent and for one month it is 8.20 percent..jpg)
