FD interest rates vary across banks and on the basis of their tenures.
Bank fixed deposits (FDs) are one of the most popular savings instruments. However, FD interest rates vary across various banks and on the basis of their tenures. So, before a customer invests in FD, he/she must compare them thoroughly across various banks and tenures in order to get the best rates. For example, on a 1-year tenure of fixed deposit worth less than Rs.1 crore, State Bank of India (SBI), India’s biggest lender, offers an interest rate of 6.25 per cent. The two biggest private banks – ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank – offer 6.5 per cent and 6.75 per cent respectively on the same tenure and deposit amount. Axis Bank, on the other hand, offers 6.5 per cent.
Here we bring to you in detail the various FD rates offered by SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank:
