Ever since the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increased its policy rates this year, banks have increased fixed deposit (FD) rates.
Fixed deposit interest rates vary from one bank to the other and are calculated based on the amount of liquid cash a bank has at any given point in time.
The highest FD rate is offered by Jana Small Finance Bank i.e. 8.50 percent for 366 days. This is followed by IDFC Bank and Deutsche Bank at 8.25 percent for a tenor of 3-10 years and 5 years respectively.
DCB offers an interest rate of 7.75 percent for a maturity period lying within 3 years and 5 years. Axis Bank provides FD at a rate of 7.45 percent for a maturity period within 17 months to 18 months. Bandhan Bank offers an interest rate of 7.40 percent for a tenor of 2 years to less than 5 years.
Here are banks offering more than 7 percent interest on your FDs.
