Bank of India has decided to increase the Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) by 50 basis points from the existing 12 per cent to 12.5 per cent with effect from August 16.
This would make the floating rate for existing home, corporate and auto loans costlier, as these are linked with BPLR.
BoI's hike in lending and deposit rates follows similar decisions by peers like ICICI Bank, Punjab National Bank, Union Bank of India and HDFC Bank, which have also raised interest rates following the upward revision in key policy rates by the Reserve Bank of India last month.
