It considers external factors like the RBI repo rate to offer a Repo-linked Loan Lending Rate (RLLR). This aims to bring more transparency and consistency to loan interest rates across different banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: Having a gap after higher studies for entrance preparations or career building?

They are linked to external market factors like the repo rate set by the RBI, treasury bill rate, or any other benchmark published by Financial Benchmarks India Pvt. Ltd.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It means that EBLR considers repo rates and T-bill rates as external factors that affect the lending interest rates. Besides these, other factors like credit risk premium (CRP), spread, and government directives affect EBLR rates. Let\u2019s look at these factors in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-factors-affecting-eblr\"><span id=\"factors-affecting-eblr\">Factors Affecting EBLR<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Repo-Rate-<\/strong>&nbsp;This is the rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks. When the repo rate goes up, banks have to pay more to borrow money, which can lead them to raise the EBLR to maintain their profit margins. Conversely, a decrease in the repo rate can lead to a lower EBLR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Treasury Bills-<\/strong>&nbsp;T-bills are short-term debt instruments issued by the government that have an impact on the repo rate. They do not directly affect the EBLR rates. Higher T-bill yields indicate a tighter liquidity situation in the market. To manage inflation and control the money supply, the RBI might raise the repo rate in response to high T-bill yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credit Risk Premium-&nbsp;<\/strong>This is the additional interest rate that banks charge borrowers based on their perceived creditworthiness. While not directly impacting the EBLR itself, it can affect the overall interest rate you pay on your education loan (EBLR + Credit Risk Premium). A borrower with a good credit history might qualify for a lower credit risk premium, resulting in a lower overall interest rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: Comparing education loan interest rates is one of the best practices before applying for a loan with any lender.&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/education-loan\/education-loan-interest-rates-of-different-banks-and-nbfcs\/\"><strong>Compare the education loan interest rates of leading banks and NBFCs<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;to find the best-suited lender.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eblr-vs-mclr-vs-rllr\"><span id=\"eblr-vs-mclr-vs-rllr\">EBLR vs MCLR vs RLLR<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/full-form\/mclr-full-form\/\"><strong>full form of MCLR<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;is the&nbsp;<strong>Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate<\/strong>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/full-form\/full-form-on-rllr\/\"><strong>full form of RLLR<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;is the&nbsp;<strong>Repo-linked Loan Lending Rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While MCLR is the internal rate set by the banks, EBLR is based on external factors. RLLR-based loans are a part of EBLR.
