Bank of Maharashtra cuts repo-linked lending rate by 25 bps to 8.80%

State-owned Bank of Maharashtra (BoM) has announced reduction in lending rate linked to repo rate by 25 basis points in line with the Reserve Bank's key policy rate. The bank's repo-linked lending rate (RLLR) has now been reduced from 9.05 per cent to 8.80 per cent, BoM said in a statement on Monday. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday slashed key interest rates by 25 basis points for the second time in a row to support growth facing the threat of reciprocal tariffs by the US. The reduced rates will make loans more affordable and enhance the financial well-being of its customers, it said. Since all retail loans offered by the bank are linked to the RLLR, this reduction would benefit customers availing home, car, education, gold and all other retail loan products, it said. The home loan offered by the bank would start from 7.85 per cent per annum while car loans will be priced from 8.20 per cent per annum, which are among the lowest in the banking industry, it ...

Retail loans likely to become a source of systemic risk, warns RBI

Retail loans, long considered a panacea for the banking system, may become a systemic risk, the Reserve Bank said on Tuesday. The central bank, however, was quick to add that it is well-equipped with its policy toolkit to handle any systemic risk that may arise. "Empirical evidence suggests that a build-up of concentration in retail loans may become a source of systemic risk," the RBI said in its trends and progress in banking report for FY22. It can be noted that in the recent past, banks which faced huge loan reverses on the large exposure front had switched focus towards the retail assets building front to avoid any major reverses in asset quality as done after the asset quality review. According to experts, the granularity of loans, coupled with the clearer sight of end use and better diligence and monitoring, given the progress on the credit information companies front, made retail a safer bet for banks all this while. The report said in recent years, Indian banks appear to
