SBI has launched a new category for super senior citizens aged above 80, offering an extra 10 basis points on fixed deposits.
HDFC Bank has adjusted rates on bulk deposits (Rs 5 crore and above) with increments of 5-10 basis points across various tenors.
Banks are responding to customer demand, as higher deposit rates are linked to increased borrowing costs due to the marginal cost of lending.
SBI's innovative schemes, like 'Har Ghar Lakhpati', aim to simplify financial planning for customers and promote savings.
As of July 2024, SBI offers varied rates from 3.5% to 7.75% on different tenures, emphasizing attractive conditions for both senior and regular depositors.
