UCO Bank has announced a revision in its benchmark lending rates, reducing the one-year Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) to 8.80% from 8.85%. The change, effective December 11, 2025, reflects a calibrated move to balance lending competitiveness with funding costs while keeping shorter-tenor rates steady
The one-year MCLR is the most widely used benchmark for loans such as housing, personal, and business credit, making this adjustment significant for borrowers. Overnight, one-month, three-month, and six-month MCLR rates remain unchanged at 7.95%, 8.20%, 8.45%, and 8.70% respectively. In addition, the three-month Treasury Bill Linked Rate (TBLR) has been cut to 5.40% from 5.45%, while the UCO G-Sec Rate (1 year) has been revised downward to 5.59%.
