Bandhan Bank on Monday said it has slashed the interest rate on micro loans by 70 basis points to 17.95 per cent.
The revised rate will be applicable to new disbursements from Tuesday, the bank said in a statement.
In the last four years since it began operations as a bank, the lender has cut micro loan rates by 445 basis points or 4.45 per cent.

Bandhan Bank has a network of 998 branches and 481 ATMs across the country.
