For home loan borrowers, it is important to note that hike in your EMI outgo will impact only when the reset date of your loan arrives. On the reset date, the bank will hike the interest rate charged on your home loan on the basis of the prevailing MCLR. Usually, banks link MCLR based home loans to one-year MCLR rate.
Thus, if your home loan is linked to MCLR rate and reset date of your home loan is in August, then bank will hike interest rate charged on your home loan in August. Till then you will continue to pay existing EMI.
This is unlike external benchmark based linked based loans, where interest rate are reviewed and revised atleast once in every three months. Thus, any change in external benchmark (repo rate etc.) will lead to faster change in your EMI outgo.
