Overview
Many Banks and Financial Institutions use lending rates that are linked to the Base Lending Rates defined by the Central Bank of the country. Home Loans and other longer term loans are usually given out by banks/financial institutions at floating interest rates - where the interest rate applicable for the loan is linked to the interest rate set by the Central Bank and is periodically revised by the Central Bank. The interest rate applicable for the loan, can change during the tenure of the loan. The loan may start off as a 10% loan and may get revised to 10.5% after a period of time and can even be revised downwards (for example: 9.5%) depending on guidelines issued by the Central Bank from time-to-time.
