Indian banks have been making more frequent reductions in interest rates on deposits as well as advances to reflect the repo rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Last week, another leading private sector player, HDFC Bank revised its FD interest rates. The new rates became effective on 17 October.
