Banks have followed up on the interest rate hike by Reserve Bank earlier this week, with leading public sector lenders like Punjab National Bank (PNB) and Bank of Baroda (BoB) raising their lending rates by up to 25 basis points.
In a regulatory filing on Thursday, PNB announced that it has increased the Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR) by 25 basis points - from 8.75 per cent to 9 per cent. And added that it would come into effect from Thursday onwards.

Bank of Baroda has also announced an increase in its Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) by 5 basis points across all tenures.
BoB said in a regulatory filing that the new rates will be effective from February 12.
After the latest revision, its MCLR has risen from 7.85 per cent to 7.90 per cent for the overnight tenure.
