Assuming the rate kicks in from April 1 after 12 EMIs of this loan have been paid, then one can get per-lakh interest savings of Rs 3002 from the rest of the year.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced its key repo rate on Friday for the first time since May 2020, aiming to provide stimulus to the sluggish economy, which is projected to grow at its slowest pace in four years during the current fiscal year.

RBI has reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points, providing relief to home loan borrowers. The repo rate cut could lead to lower interest rates on floating rate home loans. Further cuts this year will depend on sustained low inflation and growth concerns.
