The Repo rate is the rate at which the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lends funds to Indian banks. The MCLR (Marginal cost of Lending Rate) is the interest rate which Indian Bank sets for loan borrowers. It has been observed that banks often reduce their MCLR even though the repo rate remains unchanged over a period of time. A steady Repo rate costs the Indian bank less to process and lend money and so this benefit is passed on to loan borrowers. But Banks with good liquidity reduce MLCR rates and banks with liquidity issues may even raise the MCLR. In the case of Indian Bank, it is better to opt for the MCLR.
Indian Bank does not have any specific interest rate on the basis of location of property though some banks and NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Company) have a range of interest rates and they offer lower rates for property in good localities and with upmarket amenities. An applicant can, however, discuss this with Indian Bank officials and request them for a lower rate of interest for property in a prime location.
Indian Bank does not offer any interest rebate incentives for a loan application with lower LTV (Loan to value) ratio with higher down payment. There is, however, a benefit to the applicant in terms of lesser loan burden. The applicant can raise this point during the discussion with Indian Bank officials during the loan application process and request for a rebate in interest on the basis of lower loan to value ratio.
