The bank OF INDIA' target='_blank' title='reserve bank of india-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>reserve bank of india (RBI) on february 7, 2025, reduced its repo rate by 25 basis points (0.25%). With this, the repo rate has become 6.25%. This is the first time in the last five years that the repo rate has been reduced. This is expected to be of great benefit to consumers availing of home loans, auto loans, and other consumer loans. The repo rate is the interest rate that commercial banks have to pay when they borrow from the Reserve Bank. When the repo rate is reduced, commercial banks can borrow money from the Reserve bank at a lower interest rate. As a result, banks have the opportunity to lend to borrowers at a lower interest rate.
From october 1, 2019, all retail floating rate loans have been linked to the repo rate. Therefore, when the repo rate decreases, the home loan interest rate should also decrease. As per the RBI regulations, commercial banks are required to review and change their interest rates once every quarter. Some banks may change interest rates quickly, which is why your loan interest rate is more likely to decrease.
