Should you change from Base rate to MCLR rate?
According to the HDFC Bank website, “The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has made it clear that banks should allow base rate borrowers to switch to MCLR when there is a change in the policy rate. However, before you decide, you should seek professional guidance. Financial advisors can provide you with updated information and guide you through the process of transfer.”
