MUMBAI: After SBI and Bank of Baroda, another public sector lender, Bank of India, on Tuesday heeded Finance Minister P Chidambaram's call and cut its short-term interest rates by 0.25 per cent on vehicle loans.

The bank's interest rate on this category will now stand at 11.75 per cent, a BoI release said here.

It is offering a special interest concession of 0.25 per cent on the rate of interest on vehicle loans for women.

Loans under tie-up arrangements with dealers and/or employers also get concessional interest.

However, the rate of interest on loans with longer repayment period are offered at 12 per cent per annum, the release said.

Under Priyadarshini Yojana, a development initiative that offers incentives to women entrepreneurs, BoI has declared a further rebate of one per cent for loans.

Other incentives include reduced processing charges and accident insurance cover at competitive rates during the current festive season.

A slew of public and private sector lenders including SBI, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and IDBI Bank, have slashed their rates to woo new customers in the festive season.
