HDFC Bank hikes lending rates by up to 10 bps across tenors from June 8

Private sector lender HDFC Bank has increased the Marginal Cost of funds-based Lending Rate (MCLR) by up to 10 basis points across tenors effective June 8, 2026. The maximum hike of 10 basis points was for loans having a maturity of two years to 8.55 per cent from the earlier 8.45 per cent. The benchmark one-year MCLR has been revised up by 5 basis points to 8.40 per cent, as per the data available on the HDFC Bank website. The one-year rate is used to fix most consumer loans, such as auto, personal and home loans. The overnight, three-month, six-month and three-year tenor MCLRs have been raised by 5 basis points to 8.10 per cent, 8.20 per cent, 8.35 per cent and 8.65 per cent, respectively. The MCLR hike decision comes days after the Reserve Bank on Friday expectedly kept interest rates unchanged for the second time in a row as it weighed the impact of rising energy prices and supply disruptions caused by the West Asia crisis.

Bombay HC quashes Lilavati Trust bribery case against HDFC Bank CEO

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday quashed a bribery case against HDFC Bank MD and CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan filed by the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust, calling the complaint a "counterblast" to the bank's recovery proceedings to reclaim dues of over Rs 65 crore. A division bench of Justices M S Karnik and N R Borkar stated that financial institutions are bound to initiate proceedings for recovery of loan amounts, and observed that the complaint was a result of the acrimony and strained relations between the Trust's past and present trustees. Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust runs Lilavati Hospital in Bandra. "In our view, the complaint is nothing but a counterblast to the recovery proceedings initiated, and the materials on record do not at all justify an investigation into the claim made by the complainant," the court said. It also refused to accept the complainant's claim that the Trust's founder, Kishore Mehta, died in 2024 because of pressure mounted by the bank and sa

Three officials of leading private banks were arrested for their alleged involvement in a Rs 2,500-crore cyber fraud racket in Gujarat's Rajkot district, bringing the number of those held so far in the case to 20, police said on Monday.
