Banks reduced FD interest rates after the RBI reduced the repo rate.
It should be noted that the Reserve Bank of India made a significant cut in the repo rate by 1.25 percent last year. While the RBI’s repo rate cut has made all loans, including home loans and car loans, cheaper, the returns on fixed deposits have also decreased. Due to the repo rate cut, all banks have reduced their interest rates on fixed deposits. Canara Bank also cut its fixed deposit rates. However, despite the reduction, fixed deposit rates continue to offer attractive interest rates.
