RBI Cuts Repo Rate To 5.50%: What This Means
Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced a 50 basis-point repo rate cut to 5.50 per cent this week - from the earlier 6 per cent. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra declared the higher-than-expected repo rate cut after the RBI MPC meeting. This is the third consecutive rate reduction since February. The repo rate cut means the loan interest must also fall if it's repo-linked. The repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks. A reduction in this rate makes borrowing cheaper for banks, which in turn allows them to offer loans to customers at lower interest rates. This directly impacts borrowers, especially those with home loans linked to repo-based lending rates (RBLR). An X user and an expert, Vivek Khatri, explained the implications of the repo rate cut and what to do about it. According to Mr Khatri, the repo rate cut to 5.50 per cent means that if a person has a Rs 50 lakh loan, they can save Rs 1,569 per month, Rs 18,828 per year, and Rs 2.6 lakh in loan tenure. However, the twist is that there are only 90 days to claim it. "Your bank won't remind you. Most people will miss it and lose lakhs. Don't be one of them," he said. He also noted the list of steps to take to make sure the loan interest is repo-linked. Step 1: Ask the question Ask the bank if the loan is linked to the repo rate or the Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (MCLR). If the loan is on MCLR or fixed rate, the rate drop can take up to six to 12 months. In this case, the bank has full control with no fixed reset rule, Mr Khatri said. "If the answer is repo-linked, then proceed. If MCLR, ask if it can be switched to repo-linked and what are the charges," he said. Step 2: Find the reset date According to Mr Khatri, the repo-linked loans reset every three months, but not instantly after the RBI policy. In case of missing the reset date, file a complaint online on (Select Bank - Loan/EMI - Interest Rate Issue) Step: Calculate EMI drop The expert urged people to calculate the EMI drop using the RBI's EMI calculator. When will RBI cut repo rate again? Mr Khatri, in his post, said that the latest repo rate cut took place because of the below target 4.5 per cent inflation, GDP of 6.7 per cent in Q1 FY26, and a healthy liquidity. If the inflation stays low, the next repo rate cut may take place in August, he said.

FIIs turn sellers again in June, but markets ignore the Rs 3,565 cr exit
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs), after purchasing equities worth Rs 19,860 crore in May, have turned net sellers in early June. According to exchange data, FIIs sold shares worth Rs 3,565 crore in the cash market through June 6. This trend highlights their cautious stance amid global cues and domestic uncertainties. ADVERTISEMENT In sharp contrast—and unsurprisingly—domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have stepped up their buying, turning into sustained buyers on every trading day so far in June. Their cumulative purchases have reached Rs 25,510 crore, effectively offsetting the selling pressure from FIIs. This strong DII support is helping keep the markets stable despite global headwinds. FIIs have also been consistently selling in the debt market due to the narrow differential between US and Indian bond yields, analysts said. Higher yields in the US have made Indian debt less attractive, contributing to continued outflows. Meanwhile, market sentiment received a major boost from the Reserve Bank's unexpected monetary policy action. The central bank implemented a 50 basis point repo rate cut along with a 100 basis point reduction in the cash reserve ratio (CRR). VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, remarked, 'With growth prospects in the US and China looking bleak, India stands out as a resilient economy that can deliver over 6% growth in FY26. The only concern is the high valuations, which leave little room for the rally to continue.' Markets consolidated for the third consecutive week but managed to close higher, thanks to the RBI's pro-growth stance. ADVERTISEMENT Looking ahead, investors are expected to monitor key macroeconomic data, particularly CPI inflation, and the progress of the monsoon—both of which could influence rural consumption trends."Technical charts suggest that the Nifty is poised for a breakout above 25,200, which could open the door to further gains," said Ajit Mishra, SVP of Research at Religare Broking. However, support remains strong around 24,400–24,600. ADVERTISEMENT With DII inflows overshadowing FII selling and the RBI signaling confidence in growth, market experts suggest a "buy on dips" approach—while staying cautious in sectors exposed to global headwinds.
