Mumbai: Liquidity surplus and continuous rate cuts from the central bank is propelling banks to cut their lending rates, with several of them also announcing plans to introduce repo rate linked loan and deposit product.

 On Friday, state owned lenders-Bank of India, Andhra Bank, Allahabad Bank, Syndicate Bank, Indian Overseas Bank and Canara Bank cut their Marginal Cost of Funds (MCLR) based lending rate. Another lender Union Bank issued a statement saying that it expects to further cut its MCLR by 15 basis points and would soon link its housing and vehicle loan portfolio to the repo rate from the current MCLR.

In the last two days, State Bank of India (SBI), IDBI Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and Bank of Baroda have cut their MCLR rate.

While Allahabad Bank has reduced its MCLR by 15 to 20 basis points, Andhra Bank and Syndicate Bank cut their MCLR by 25 basis points across all five tenors—overnight, one month, three months, six months and one year. Andhra Bank’s MCLR is now 7.95 per cent against the earlier 8.20 per cent. The revised MCLR for Allahabad Bank will be effective August 14 with its one year MCLR cut by 15 bps to 8.40.
