• Fixed Deposits with HDFC might see Lower Rates

  There have been many banks who have taken to slashing their base rates in accordance with the repo rate reduction by the Reserve Bank of India, but HDFC Bank seemingly has brought its base rate to an all-time low at 9.35% from its 9.7%, while the fixed deposits at the private bank will still continue to earn interest at a rate of 8.2% at the highest.

  With reduction in base rates, banks have also decreased the rate of interest on fixed deposits in a subsequent move, and a similar trend might be followed by HDFC after taking all the pros and cons of the market situation into account. But as of now, HDFC has upped the ante by being the lender with the lowest rates and higher returns on fixed deposits.

In terms of the exact figures, HDFC Bank has cut the fixed deposit interest rates by up to 50 basis points on most of its deposits. This means the best returns on your fixed deposit will fetch you a maximum of just 8.75% and that too for deposits tenured above one year.
