Latest Fixed Deposit (FD) Interest Rates: SBI (State Bank Of India) Vs Post Office
SBI or State Bank of India, the largest lender of the country, recently hiked its fixed deposit or FD interest rates across various maturities. The recent hike in interest rate for fixed deposit in SBI came just two days before the repo rate was hiked to 6.50 per cent in the latest RBI policy. India Post or the Department of Post, which also offers banking services in the country, has the option of creating several deposit accounts, one of which is its time deposit or fixed deposit account. Post office fixed deposit interest rate varies according to tenures varying up to 5 years.
