Bank FD Rates: RBI meeting is going to be held in the beginning of October, in which it will be known what changes happen in FD rates, but before this many banks have changed the FD rates.
Bank FD Rates: Many big banks including SBI, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank have not revised their fixed deposit interest rates in recent months. Meanwhile, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is going to be held on October 4-6, 2023. In such a situation, whether and to what extent the banks change the FD rates will depend on this meeting. Let us tell you that RBI has maintained status quo on key rates for the last three times.
