State-owned Canara Bank’s overnight and one-month MCLR are at 6.75 per cent now. The three-month MCLR is now at 7.05 per cent; six month MCLR is at 7.45 per cent; and one-year MCLR is at 7.50 per cent, information put out on the bank’s website revealed.

The RBI’s six-member monetary policy committee (MPC) on June 8 raised the benchmark interest, the repo rate, by 50 basis points to 4.90 per cent to tame the rising headline inflation. Previously, the MPC had raised rates by 40 basis points.

HDFC Bank last raised its MCLR by 35 basis points in June, a day prior to the MPC meeting. It had also hiked its MCLR by 25 bps in May. A few other lenders such as ICICI Bank, Punjab National Bank, and Indian Bank had raised their MCLR last week, post the MPC’s decision to hike repo rate.
