Union Bank of India has cut its marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) by 20 basis points across tenors. The rate cut is effective from Saturday (July 11).
The move comes amid similar steps taken by the peers after two rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in order to help the economic growth rise in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The RBI has cut its key rates by 115 bps since March.
