Lenders, including banks, small finance banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have been raising their fixed deposit (FD) rates since May 2022 after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) started hiking the repo rate. There have been six straight rate hikes by RBI so far, resulting in a total repo rate hike of 250 bps. Consequently, banks have followed suit and raised interest rates, with some offering even above 9 percent of rate on their FDs.
