Bapi Munshi, president, treasury, at Axis said the 50 bps rate cut was in line with the current liquidity and market environment. "Our cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2008-09 was better than the third quarter," he said. "We expect to do even better in the current quarter and based on those expectations, we have decided to pass on the benefit to our customers." Axis Bank had already revised its BPLR by 50 bps, from 15.75 per cent to 15.25 per cent, from April 1.
