The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday slashed key interest rates by 25 basis points for the second time in a row to support growth facing the threat of reciprocal tariffs by the US.

Since all retail loans offered by the bank are linked to the RLLR, this reduction would benefit customers availing home, car, education, gold and all other retail loan products, it said.

The home loan offered by the bank would start from 7.85 per cent per annum while car loans will be priced from 8.20 per cent per annum, which are among the lowest in the banking industry, it claimed.

Meanwhile, another public sector lender Indian Overseas Bank (IOB), too, cut its benchmark lending rate in line with repo rate reduction from 6.25 per cent to 6 per cent.

The bank has decided to pass on the rate cut to the customers by reducing the RLLR of the bank by 25 basis points from 9.10 per cent to 8.85 per cent, IOB said in a statement.
