SKS Microfinance has decided to reduce the interest rate charged to its borrowers from 22% to 20.75% on income generating loans to be extended w.e.f. 01 October 2015.

It had been charging the lowest interest among Indian MFIs since July 2015 with a reduction of 1.55% in that month, in addition to the 1% reduction in October 2014.
