Fixed deposit interest rates are subject to change from time to time. Earlier, SBI revised its FD rates on October 10, 2019.
In the bulk segment (fixed deposits of Rs 2 crore and above), SBI FD interest rates have been reduced by 30 to 75 basis points or 0.30 to 0.75 percentage points.
SBI said the revision in interest rates is “in view of adequate liquidity in the system”.
The SBI has begun offering an interest rate of 6.25% to the general public and 6.75% to senior citizens on fixed deposits of below Rs 2 crore on time frames of one year to less than two years.
