SBI Interest Rate Hike: If you have availed or are going to avail loan from State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest public sector bank, this news will be very helpful for you. A big update has come from the bank. The bank has increased the benchmark Prime Lending Rate (PPLR) by 70 basis points. After this change, the EME of SBI borrowers will increase. Earlier, RBI hiked repo rate by 1.40 percent. This change was implemented in three different periods.

BPLR raised by 70 basis points

After the RBI hiked the repo rate, both government and private banks have been making changes in lending rates. This increases the cost of repaying the bank loan. However, interest rates on Fixed Deposits (FDs) are also increased by banks. After an increase of 70 basis points, the interest rate on SBI’s PPLR-based loan has increased to 13.45 percent.
