Many banks, including SBI and BOI, have reduced their fixed deposit interest rates since RBI's decision on April 9.
FD rates usually move in the same direction as the repo rate, so a rate cut by RBI prompts banks to lower the interest rates offered on FDs.
SBI has revised its FD rates, lowering them for deposits under Rs 3 crore. Changes apply to deposits made for at least a period of 1 year.
Bank of India has also revised its rates, offering a 4.50% interest rate on deposits made for a period of 46 days to 90 days and 7.05% interest rate for FD of 1 year.
