State-owned banks raise repo-linked lending rates by 25 bps
In short
Several state-owned banks, including BoB, PNB and Indian Bank, raised repo-linked lending rates by 25 basis points after the RBI raised its policy rate. That makes loans more expensive for borrowers.
This matters because higher rates can raise EMIs and slow loan demand. The report does not say how much the monthly payments will change.
