NEW DELHI: State Bank of India (SBI) has hiked its effective marginal cost of lending rate (MCLR) by 0.10% across all tenures, effective June 1.

MCLR is the main determinant of cost of a loan for borrowers and an increase in MCLR normally means increase in interest payable by borrowers.

The hike has come just a couple of days before Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is to announce bi-monthly monetary policy.

The bank had previously increased MCLR in March 2018.

The hike comes just hours after Punjab National Bank (PNB) revised the MCLR for select tenors by 0.05-0.10 per cent, effective June 1.
