I am thinking of taking an educational loan(Unsecured) from either Axis Bank or HDFC Credilia. However, I read some negative reviews about HDFC Credilia how they increase the interest rate without prior notice and demand for collateral to disburse the loan amount. Is it the same with Axis bank(their website mentions something about Repo Rate which I’m not sure what it is)?
Could you please suggest some other alternatives?
Thank You.

Regarding Axis Bank, the Repo Rate is the rate at which the Reserve Bank of India lends money to commercial banks, and it is used as a benchmark for determining lending rates by banks such as Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, etc. This means that if the Repo Rate decreases, the interest rates on loans may also decrease. Conversely, if the Repo Rate increases, the interest rates on loans may also increase.
