State-owned Indian Bank on Saturday said it has revised the repo linked lending rate with effect from May 9. The bank's move comes after a number of banks raised their external benchmark based lending rates following an increase of 0.40 percent in the repo rate -- at which the Reserve Bank lends short term money to banks.
"The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the bank has reviewed the lending rate for all loans/advances linked with policy repo rate and revised the lending rate linked with policy repo rate based on repo from 4 percent to 4.40 percent," Indian Bank said in a regulatory filing. The said revised lending rate of the bank shall be effective from 9th May 2022 for new customers and from 1st June 2022 for all the existing customers of the bank, the bank said.
