The one-month, one-year and three-year tenor of loans have been reduced by 0.05 per cent each to 8 per cent, 8.40 per cent and 8.85 per cent, respectively.
The three-month duration loan will attract a rate of 8.10 per cent, down 0.10 per cent from previous rate.

For the overnight and six-month tenors, the MCLRs are unchanged at 8 per cent and 8.20 per cent, respectively.

The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) has also resolved to keep the existing rate of base rate unchanged at 9.70 per cent and benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) at 14 per cent, the bank added.
