Understanding Lending Rate — a simple guide

What it measures

The average rate banks charge on loans to the private sector.

How it is calculated

Average rate charged by banks on new loans to businesses and households.

Simple example

A 9% lending rate means a ₹1 lakh loan costs about ₹9,000 a year in interest.

▲ When it is high or rising

Higher rates make borrowing more expensive.

▼ When it is low or falling

Lower rates make credit cheaper.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

Lending rates determine the cost of credit for businesses and households.

How to read it

The gap between lending and deposit rates (the spread) reflects banking-sector costs and risk.
