MV Nair, chairman and managing director, Union Bank in an interview to CNBC-TV18 said, it has decided to pass on the 10 basis point rate cut to its customers. "There was a marginal 10 basis point reduction on stock bill. We thought it was right time to pass on this benefit to the borrower," he said.
