SBI hikes Interest rate on loans: The marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) for home loans and other loans was raised by 10 basis points by State Bank of India (SBI). The new rates went into effect on January 15th. The Christmas offer campaign from SBI, which offers a discount on home loans, will end on January 31, 2023, it should be noted. Banks raise their lending rates, or MCLR, to pass on the cost when the Reserve Bank of India raises the repo rate.

The MCLR on a 1-year term jumped to 8.4% from 8.30% on January 15 according to the SBI website. For all other maturities, the MCLR remains the same.
