The MCLR (Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate) is the minimum lending rate below which a bank is not allowed to lend. The MCLR system superseded the previous base rate mechanism in determining commercial bank lending rates. The MCLR system uses marginal cost of funds, tenor premium, operating costs and cost of carry in CRR to determine the lending rate.
