Yes. You can convert interest rate in your mortgage loan from MCLR to repo rate. You can do it by submitting a request in our ‘Non logged in’ section or visit any asset servicing branch if you are in India.Click here to access the Non logged in section.

The reset period and date will be decided on the date of first disbursement.
In case of increase in MCLR on the reset date, the ROI will increase which in turn will impact the EMI/tenure of the loan depending on the option exercised by the borrower.
In case of decrease in MCLR on the reset date, the ROI will decrease which in turn will impact the EMI/tenure of the loan depending on the option exercised by the borrower.

Illustration: Consider a scenario where first disbursement of the loan is done on <April 15, 2016> under I-MCLR-1Y benchmark rate, with the I-MCLR-1Y being <9.20>% p.a. with a spread/margin of <20> basis points (bps). In such a case, the effective rate would be <9.40>% p.a.
In the above scenario, the effective rate of <9.40>% p.a. would remain constant till the next reset date i.e. <April 1, 2017>. On <April 1, 2017>, the loans would be reset with the applicable I-MCLR-1Y rate as on that date.
The spread/margin of the loan would continue to remain the same. e.g. If the I-MCLR-1Y is <9.10>% p.a. as on <April 1, 2017>, then revised rate applicable for the loan would be <9.10>% + <0.20>% = <9.30>% p.a. w.e.f. <April 1, 2017>.

In case of floating rate loans, the Banks can specify dates of interest reset which will be linked to either the date of first disbursement or date of review of MCLR.
The periodicity of reset will be one year or lower. The exact periodicity of reset will form part of the terms of the loan contract.
For loans disbursed in a particular month, the reset date will be the 1st day of the month of the subsequent year(s). e.g. if the loan is disbursed during any day of <April 2016>, the reset date for the said loan will be <April 1, 2017>
If, however, the customer opts for any rate conversion in a particular month, then the annual reset date will be 1st day of the month (in which the conversion is effected) of the subsequent year(s). e.g. If the loan is disbursed on <April 20, 2016> and subsequently in the month of September 2016, the customer opts rate conversion which is effected on <September 12, 2016>, the reset date for the said loan will be <September 1, 2017>.
