The reset period and date will be decided on the date of first disbursement.
In case of increase in MCLR on the reset date, the ROI will increase which in turn will impact the EMI/tenor of the loan as per Bank’s policy and will be communicated to the customer.
In case of decrease in MCLR on the reset date, the ROI will decrease which in turn will impact the EMI/tenor of the loan as per Bank’s policy and will be communicated to the customer.
It may be mentioned that the spread/margin of the loan would continue to remain the same.
Illustration: Consider a scenario where first disbursement of the loan is done on April 15, 2016 under MCLR-6 month’s benchmark rate, with the 6 months MCLR being 9.20% p.a. with a spread/margin of 20 basis points (bps). In such a case the effective rate would be 9.40% p.a.
In above scenario, the effective rate of 9.40% p.a. would remain constant till the next reset date i.e Oct 2016.
On Oct 2016, the loans would be reset with the applicable 6 months MCLR rate as on that date.
It may be mentioned that the spread/margin of the loan would continue to remain the same. e.g. If the 6 months MCLR is 9.10% p.a. as on OCT 2016, then revised rate applicable for the loan would be 9.10% + 0.20% = 9.30% p.a. w.e.f. Oct 2016.
