The SBI has now increased the one-year MCLR by 0.05 per cent to 9 per cent effective from Friday. The one-year MCLR is a key tenor to which long-term loans like home finance are linked. The lender has raised the MCLR twice recently, driven by concerns that rising deposit costs—due to intense competition among banks for liabilities—will eventually lead to higher lending rates.
