IDBI slashes interest rates on retail term deposits
The bank's retail deposit rates in two short-term buckets - 91 days to less than six months were cut by 50 basis points (bps) to 7.25 per cent and in six months to 269 days bucket by 15 bps to 8.5 per cent, the bank said in a statement.
This move came after hints from RBI's Monetary Policy for 2013-14, announced on May 3, 2013, the bank said.
Further, it has been decided to rationalize the additional interest payable to Senior Citizens over the normal interest rates to a uniform 50 bps for all Retail Term Deposits having maturity of six months up to 20 years, including for Tax Saving Deposits.
