The three month MCLR will now stand at 7.95 per cent. The State Bank of India (SBI's) six-month MCLR has been increased to 8.1 per cent. Similarly, the one-year MCLR, two-year MCLR and three-year MCLR have been raised to 8.25 per cent, 8.35 per cent and 8.45 per cent. The increase of SBI fixed deposit (FD) rates that took place on May 28 has led to the increase in lending rates. Check the SBI's latest FD rates here.
