The country's third largest private sector lender in a communication on its website stated that the benchmark one-year MCLR is up by 25 basis points to 8.35 per cent with effect from October 18, 2022.
This is the third such move by the lender in as many months since May, and takes the overall quantum of the rate hikes to 0.80 percent.

DCB Bank has revised downward its MCLR across tenors with overnight loans attracting 8.35 per cent interest rates, down 0.25 per cent from earlier, the bank said in a filing to BSE.
