Even as the talks of rate cuts this year have started, fixed deposit (FD) investments have again come into focus. The rate cut cycle is adverse to FD investments, as banks tend to cut FD rates as the RBI reduces its policy rates. Here’s the comparison of the current fixed deposit (FD) interest rates offered by three lenders Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank on deposits below Rs 2 crore.
HDFC Bank is offering up to 7.75 per cent interest rates on FD, depending upon deposit tenure and depositor’s age. ICICI Bank is offering FD rates up to 7.75 per cent annually and Axis Bank is giving up to 7.85 per cent a year.
