New EMI after RBI Announcement..? So much for a lakh ..?!
RBI raises the repo rate for the second time since May. If this interest rate is not raised, not only the price but also the value of the rupee will touch the abyss. Following the two-day monetary policy meeting, Shaktikanta Das today announced that the repo rate, which sets the interest rate on bank loans, has been raised by 0.50 percent which is 4.90 percent.
Like a home loan, a vehicle loan at 10-10.9 percent interest for 8 years with a loan of Rs 8 lakh, the monthly EMI amount will increase from Rs 13,281 to Rs 13,656 on a new interest basis. This will increase your monthly EMI by 375 rupees.
Personal loan buyers who have a loan of Rs 5 lakh for 5 years at 14-14.9 percent interest will have their monthly EMI amount increased from Rs 11,634 to Rs 11,869 on a new interest basis. This will increase your monthly EMI by 235 rupees. Even if the RBI raises the repo rate, it is up to the banks to decide how much to raise. In particular, the rise in interest rates on bank deposit funds, on which billions of people depend, is in the hands of banks.
