• If your floating rate home loan is linked to MCLR or marginal cost of funds based lending rate, you will have a reset clause and from that date the new rates will become applicable.

India's biggest bank State Bank of India or SBI has adopted 6-month MCLR reset frequency for retail loans as compared to earlier frequency of one year. "Enjoy the benefits of a reduction in the interest rate without waiting for a year. SBI has reduced the MCLR reset frequency from 1 year to 6 months," SBI tweeted.

A customer care executive of SBI said that the new reset frequency of 6 months will be applicable for new loans.

Currently, the one-year MCLR of SBI, against which home loans are typically benchmarked, stands at 7% while six-month at 6.95%. In July, SBI has announced a cut in its short-term MCLR rates to boost credit off take and revive demand.
