The move comes a week after the Reserve Bank of India cut its key interest rate by an unconventional 35 basis points to 5.40 percent after its monetary policy review. The central bank pushed the commercial banks across the country to make faster transition of the interest rate cuts so that the benefits are received by the people. Cheaper loans are hoped to improve liquidity, push economic activities and help revive the country's slowing economy faster.
While a large number of banks have cut their lending rates, there will be a cut in fixed deposit rates as well.
