Canara Bank Raises MCLR by 5 Basis Points, Impacting Floating-Rate Loan EMIs

Canara Bank has increased its Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) by 5 basis points across all tenors, effective from May 12. This hike will raise interest rates and equated monthly installments (EMIs) on floating-rate loans such as home, auto, and personal loans linked to MCLR. Bank of Baroda, in contrast, has kept its MCLR unchanged. Borrowers are advised to verify their loan linkage and consider financial advice for refinancing or balance transfer options.
