    E Limit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • MCLR stands for Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate. • It represents the minimum lending rate below which banks are not allowed to lend (except in specific cases permitted by RBI). • Introduced in April 2016, MCLR replaced the earlier Base Rate system to improve monetary policy transmission. • The framework links lending rates more closely with the marginal cost of funds (such as repo rate, deposit rates, and operating costs). Hence, in MCLR, the “L” stands for Lending.
