The revised interest rates for 2-year FDs stand at 7.9 percent for super senior citizens, 7.75 percent for senior citizens, and 7.25 percent for other customers.
It’s worth noting that these revised interest rates are applicable not only for domestic term deposits but also for Non-Resident (Ordinary) (NRO) and Non-Resident (External) (NRE) rupee term deposits.
