Bank of Baroda has increased the domestic deposit rate by 1.25 percent. This also includes NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) term deposits. This increase will be effective from December 29, 2023. This public sector bank said in its regulatory filing that the increase in deposit interest rates is for deposits less than Rs 2 crore.
Ravindra Singh Negi, Chief General Manager (Retail Liabilities and NRI Business), Bank of Baroda, said, ‘The increase in retail deposits reflects the bank’s commitment to provide better facilities to the customers. We believe that this step will not only help in attracting more and more customers, but will also make it possible for the bank to increase its deposits. In this way, the Net Interest Margin (NIM) of the bank will be better.
