The country's second largest lender Punjab National Bank (PNB) on Monday hiked its repo-linked lending rate (RLLR) by 15 basis points (bps) to 6.80 per cent.
All new retail loans (housing, education, vehicle), credit to MSMEs are linked to RLLR.
Meanwhile, the state-owned lender has slashed its base rate by 10 bps to 8.80 per cent.
