SBI Interest Rate: Big news for SBI Customers. The State Bank of India (SBI) has given a big gift to its customers. Following the Reserve Bank’s policy rate cut, the country’s largest lender, SBI, has reduced its interest rates by 25 basis points. This has made loans cheaper for both new and existing borrowers, reducing EMIs as well.

Following this reduction, SBI’s external benchmark-linked interest rate (EBLR) will be reduced by 25 basis points to 7.90%. The revised rates will be effective from December 15, 2025. This interest rate cut follows the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision last week to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points to support growth.
