Personal loans: Impact of rate cuts on different types of loans – An explainer

Live Mint  

Early this year, the Reserve Bank of India is expected to cut down benchmark interest rates. This means when repo rates are cut, depositors will earn lower rates on their deposits and borrowers will be able to withdraw money at lower interest rates. Personal loan Banks generally charge interest from borrowers based on marginal cost of funds-based lending rate which constitutes components such as deposit rates, repo rates, operating costs and cash reserve ratio. So, when RBI raises repo rate and the CRR, the banks are made to incur an extra cost to be able to raise funds, thus raising cost of lending. And if that happens, the interest rate charged by banks on home loans – at floating rates -- would likely fall.
