01 August 2010 prime lending rate(PLR) ----

The interest rate that commercial banks charge their best, most credit-worthy customers. Generally a bank's best customers consist of large corporations. The rate is determined by the Federal Reserve's decision to raise or lower prevailing interest rates for short-term borrowing. Though some banks charge their best customers more and some less than the official prime rate, the rate tends to become standard across the banking industry when a major bank moves its prime up or down. The rate is a key interest rate, since loans to less-creditworthy customers are often tied to the prime rate. For example, a Blue Chip company may borrow at a prime rate of 5%, but a less-well-established small business may borrow from the same bank at prime plus 2, or 7%. Many consumer loans, such as home equity, automobile, mortgage, and credit card loans, are tied to the prime rate. Although the major bank prime rate is the definitive "best rate" reference point, many banks, particularly those in outlying regions, have a two-tier system, whereby smaller companies of top credit standing may borrow at an even lower rate.

01 August 2010 BPLR mean --

The BPLR is the interest rate that commercial banks charge their most credit-worthy customers.According to the Reserve Bank of India banks are free to fix the Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) with the approval of their respective Boards. Banks are free to decide the BPLR but their interest rates have to have a reference to the BPLR fixed.
