One-year MCLR has been reduced to 8.80 per cent from 8.85 per cent. The one-year MCLR is the benchmark against which most of the consumer lending, such as auto, personal and home loans, are priced. Among others, the six-month and three-month MCLRs have been cut to 8.60 per cent and 8.50 per cent, respectively.
