HDFC Bank Lowers MCLR Rates by Up to 10 Basis Points Across Tenures
HDFC Bank has reduced its Marginal Cost of Funds-based Lending Rates (MCLR) by 5 to 10 basis points across various tenures, effective September 7, 2026. The revised rates now range from 7.90% to 8.60%, down from 8.00% to 8.65%. Borrowers with loans linked to MCLR may experience changes in interest rates and EMIs after their reset dates. However, newer floating-rate loans linked to external benchmarks may not be affected by this revision.
