The Reserve Bank of India and the national government continue to struggle with the country’s rising inflation rate. The central bank raised its repo rate four times over the previous five months. From 4 per cent to 5.90 per cent, it has now increased. The bank’s clients are being negatively impacted by the rising repo rate in this scenario. The interest rates on banks’ fixed deposit schemes (SBI FD Rates), RD schemes, and savings accounts have all grown significantly in recent months (SBI Saving Account Rates). The bank has also consistently raised the interest rates on its loans. Investors are choosing to do FD in the bank due to the ongoing growth in deposit rates. On October 22, State Bank upped the rates on its FDs of fewer than Rs 2 crore by 80 basis points.
