Interest Rates For Senior Citizens

On fixed deposits up to Rs 2 crore, SBI as of now pays a 50-basis-point (0.5 percentage point) higher return to the senior citizens compared to other customers.

Investment Limit

While no upper limit to the amount has been set, the bank has made a minimum investment of Rs 1,000 compulsory for parking funds in its retail fixed deposits.

Change In Interest Rates

SBI offers both monthly and quarterly interval categories for crediting the interest in retail fixed deposit accounts.

However, the payment of interest on a monthly basis is given at a discounted rate, according to the SBI website.

Meanwhile, SBI has also slashed its marginal cost of funding-based lending rates (MCLR) by 5 basis points across tenors, stating the ninth downward revision in the important lending rates so far this fiscal year. The new rates will also come into effect from February 10 and make home loans cheaper for new SBI customers.
