New Delhi: Bank of India and UCO Bank have announced 25 basis points reduction lending rate within hours of RBI’s decision to slash its policy rate Wednesday, a move which will help existing and new borrowers.
Other banks are also expected to make similar announcements soon.
Both public sector banks, in separate regulatory filings, said the rate revision has been done following the RBI’s reduction in the short-term lending rate (repo rate) earlier in the day.
