With the increase of interest on saving account and development of repo prices by RBI, the banks are now left with no option but to recover the prices on all the loan products owing to this twice whammy.

So far the banks have opposed the temptation to improve their interest rates with all development of Repo prices,  but not any longer. Many famous players have previously increased  the prices between 0.50% to 0.75 % depending on the leeway the bank has and the aggressive scenario.

Impact on the borrowers:

Due to the present quantity improve, the worst affected are the home loan borrowers who are servicing the loan under floating interest rate as the lenders have the power to improve the prices on the basis of its base rate for their floating prices.
