Bank FDs guarantee a fixed interest rate irrespective of market uncertainties, say financial expertsMany banks have recently revised interest rates paid by them on retail fixed deposits.
While HDFC Bank is the latest major lender to make changes to its FD interest rates in select maturities, Punjab National Bank (PNB) and Canara Bank announced new rates earlier this month.
The latest adjustments in fixed deposit rates by banks - including the largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) - come days after announcement of a hike in repo rate by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Top banks today pay interest rates to the tune of 3.5-7.75 per cent on fixed deposits of up to Rs 1 crore for a maturity period ranging from seven days to five years.
