Banks will have to adopt the ‘Base Rate' system in place of the current Benchmark Prime Lending Rate system from April 1 The Base Rate will be the minimum rate for all commercial loans and banks will not be permitted to resort to any lending below this rate.
The Base Rate system would be applicable for all new loans and for those old loans that come up for renewal.
The RBI has withdrawn the current stipulation of BPLR as the ceiling rate for loans up to Rs 2 lakh to increase credit flow to small borrowers.
