Marginal Cost Lending Rate ie MCLR is the basic minimum rate on the basis of which banks give loans to customers. MCLR was established by the RBI in 2016 with the aim of fixing the interest rates of various types of loans. It acts as a benchmark rate for banks to use while lending at a fair and open interest rate. If the bank makes any kind of change in MCLR, then the cost of loan i.e. interest rate is also affected, which directly affects the customer’s pocket in the form of higher EMI.
