BANK RATE • Bank Rate is also known as discount rate. • It is the rate at which RBI lends to the commercial banks or rediscounts their bills. • If bank rate is increased ,then commercial banks also charge higher rate of interest on loans given by banks to public because now commercial banks get funds from RBI at higher rate of interest. • Higher rate of interest will contract credit in the economy i.e. public will take lesser loans because of higher rate of interest. • The current bank rate is 6.75%
