    Solution

    β€’ MCLR stands for Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate. β€’ It represents the minimum lending rate below which banks are not allowed to lend (except in specific cases permitted by RBI). β€’ Introduced in April 2016, MCLR replaced the earlier Base Rate system to improve monetary policy transmission. β€’ 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 β€œL” stands for Lending.
