The State Bank of India (SBI) has hiked interest rates by up to 25 basis points (bps) on fixed deposits (FDs) of less than ₹2 crore, HT’s sister publication Mint has reported. The hike in interest rates comes days after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised the policy repo rate by 25 bps to 6.5%.

SBI’s new interest rates came into effect on Wednesday. These are for both general customers and senior citizens.

General FD rates

For deposits with tenure of less than a year, the country’s largest public sector lender has not made any change. This, therefore, means it continues to offer 3% on 7-45 days, 4.5% on 46-179 days, 5.25% on 180-210 days, and 5.75% on 211 days to less than 1 year.

On the other hand, on FD’s for 2 years to less than 3 years, the interest rate has been increased from 6.75% to 7%. For tenures from 3 to 10 years, it now stands at 6.5% for each, up from the earlier 6.25%.

FDs with a tenure of 1 year to less than 2 years received the lowest hike, of 5 bps, from 6.75% to 6.8%.
