Senior citizens may receive a 7.6 per cent interest rate on one year deposits under the Sarvottam plan, while others may receive a 7.1 per cent interest rate.

SBI is also giving senior citizens 7.6 per cent interest and others 7.1 per cent under a special Amrit Kalash deposit of 400 days.

Why are banks offering higher interest rates?

RBI reviews the interest rates of banks periodically to ensure the financial stability of the banking system.

When the RBI increases the repo rate, commercial banks increase their FD rates to maintain a positive margin. When the RBI reduces the repo rate, commercial banks usually reduce their FD rates, though the extent of the reduction may vary from bank to bank.
