Bank of India has revised its interest rates on fixed deposits (FD) of various tenures, which have become effective from Thursday (June 23). The move comes after various other lenders have increased their interest rates on FDs, following RBI’s decision to hike the repo rate to control inflation. The state-owned bank now offers interest rates between 2.85 per cent and 5.50 per cent.
Several lenders, including ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank and Punjab National Bank, recently increased their interest rates for both deposits as well as loans. The RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee recently unanimously decided to raise the repo rate by 50 basis points to 4.90 per cent with the focus on withdrawal of accommodation. It has prompted the lenders to hike interest rates on loans. According to the latest official data, retail inflation slightly eased to 7.04 per cent in May.
