Following the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) fourth consecutive key rate cut, banks have been making more frequent revisions in deposits as well as lending rates. Amid concerns of an economic slowdown, the central bank, as well as the government, has been stressing on the faster transition of repo rate cuts in retail banking products.
Many banks, including State Bank of India, have cut interest rates on FD and well as loans.
Further, starting 1 October, all public sector banks will be required to link their retail loan interest rates to external benchmarks as per RBI instructions.
