State Bank of India (SBI) clients suffered a major setback on Tuesday. The recent decision of the bank has a direct impact on the people who borrow from the bank. The bank made installments of all kinds of expensive loans including home and auto. In fact, the bank has increased the lending rates on the basis of the marginal cost (MCLR) of the fund for loans of various periods. The bank increased it by 0.15 percent.
