Recently, some lenders, including Punjab National Bank, Bank of India and UCO Bank, slashed their lending rates linked to repo rate by 40 bps.
Pune-headquartered BoM also said it will cut its marginal cost of funds-based lending rates (MCLR) by 20 bps across all tenors from June 8.
This would be the third consecutive cut by the state-owned bank.
The one-year MCLR has been revised to 7.70 per cent from 7.90 per cent earlier. For six months, the rate has been revised to 7.50 per cent.
The reduction in MCLR is aimed at supporting economic growth and industrial development and ensure rate transmission, the lender said.
