New Delhi: Mortgage bank Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) has revised its Retail Prime Lending Rate (RPLR), which will make EMIs on home loans costlier. The new rates will kick in from August 9, 2022.
In a BSE recording, HDFC said, “HDFC expands its Retail Prime Lending Rate (RPLR) on Housing credits, on which its Adjustable Rate Home Loans (ARHL) are benchmarked, by 25 premise focuses, with impact from August 9, 2022.”

This is essential for the proposed consolidation of HDFC Bank, the country’s biggest confidential area bank by monetary record, with its parent, contract moneylender Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd (HDFC Ltd).
