RBI June 2025 Policy: Repo Rate Cut, Impact on EMIs & SIPs


📊 What is Repo Rate and Why Does it Matter?

Repo rate is the interest rate at which RBI lends money to banks. If it is reduced:

  • Banks get money cheaper.

  • Banks can reduce interest on loans and EMIs.

  • This encourages more people to borrow, spend, and invest — which boosts the economy.

💡 Example:

If your home loan interest rate was 9.0%, now your bank may reduce it to 8.5%. This means lower EMIs!
