      I had the fixed deposit account with the State bank of India and the interest rate was around 6% to 7% before three years of time. Response and other aspects are good enough. Customer service was also good one and their online banking services are up to the mark.

      When I have started to deposit the money I was getting good interest rate but know the rate of interest is decreased with SBI Fixed deposit. I have started the fixed deposit around 6 years ago with SBI. Initially I got around 9.5% as interest rate but now I am getting only 7.5% interest rate. The service with State is good.

      It has been two years when I opened fixed deposit with State bank of India. The period is for five years. Since I completed two years, three years to go. Interest rate is of 11%. Actually SBI is located near to my house so I feel more comfortable in visiting the bank at any instance. All the staffs are very friendly and very cooperative.

      I had invested in fixed deposit with the State bank of India and the interest rate is very less like its around 7.15%, also the returns are also very less, which will be also applicable with the tax. Services provided by them is really not good and I would like to suggest that they need to provide the customer service in a much better way.

      The prime reason for selecting SBI for the Fixed Deposit is the rate of interest which is 7.8% as it is the best in the market. I am holding this FD for a period of 4 to 5 years of time. No drawback nor challenges as such. This FD was opened at the Branch.
