Canara Bank's new rate for loans is now 8.25%.
This means people with loans from Canara Bank might pay less each month or pay their loans off faster.
Other banks like PNB and HDFC are also making loans less expensive for their customers.
Canara Bank reduced its Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR) to 8.25% from 8.75%.
