RBI redraws interest rate framework for banks, NBFCs; tighter benchmark, spread norms proposed
The new framework proposed by the Reserve Bank of India, which is set to come into effect from April 1, 2027, seeks to standardise how banks, NBFCs, co operative banks, RRBs and financial institutions price loans, determine benchmarks and revise spreads. The draft mandates external benchmark linked pricing for floating personal and MSME loans of commercial banks, caps floating-rate benchmark resets at three months, tightens MCLR calculation and restricts changes to loan spreads.
