The current RBI repo rate is 5.25% as of February 2026. The RBI kept rates unchanged at its June 2026 MPC meeting. The last change was a 25 basis point cut on December 5, 2025.
Most home loans in India are EBLR-linked. When RBI cuts repo rate by 25 bps, your home loan rate falls by 25 bps within the next quarterly reset, reducing your monthly EMI automatically.
EBLR = RBI Repo Rate + Bank's Spread. SBI's EBLR = 5.25% + 2.65% = 7.90%. Your home loan rate = EBLR + Credit Risk Premium based on your CIBIL score.
The next RBI Monetary Policy Committee meeting is scheduled for August 5โ7, 2026. The rate decision will be announced on August 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM IST.
As of June 2026, home loan rates start from 7.45% from Bank of Baroda and 7.50% from SBI for borrowers with 750+ CIBIL score. Use our home loan EMI calculator to compare.
