On 26 June 2008, State Bank of India raised its benchmark prime lending rate by 50 basis points to 12.75% with effect from 27 June 2008. State Bank of India (SBI)'s decision to raise lending rate comes after the Reserve Bank of India gave a strong signal that interest rates in the economy are headed north when it on Tuesday, 24 June 2008, raised repo and cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 50 basis points each on control over 11% inflation. CRR is the proportion of deposits mobilised by banks and parked with the RBI for statutory requirement. Banks do not earn any interest on the cash reserves. Repo rate is the rate at which RBI lends money to banks.
SBI had raised about Rs 16,700 in February 2008 through a rights offer of shares. The bank had offered 1 rights share for every 5 shares held at Rs 1590 per share
