Indian Overseas Bank Vs Indian Bank Vs Canara Bank Latest FD Rates Compared Post Repo Rate Hike

Fixed Deposit is recognised as one of the most secure and safe kinds of investment. In 2022, Fixed Deposits (FD) are getting their charm back as Interest rates on FDs are getting raised by the banks across the tenors since May 2022. This is because after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increased the repo rate, government and private sector banks are adjusting the rates on FDs.

In September, the RBI raised the repo rate for the fourth time in a row up to 1.90 percent. The repo rate rose by 50 basis points to 5.9 percent. Banks are likely to raise fixed deposit rates further in order to attract additional deposits, as the repo rates are getting raised by the RBI.

Following the repo rate hike in September, many other top banks raised their FD rates for terms ranging from 7 days to 10 years in October 2022. Banks such as ICICI bank, Axis Bank, SBI, Indian Bank, Bank Of Maharashtra, Canara Bank and many others. Many other banks are likely to follow the trend in the coming days.

As a result of hike in FD rates, before subscribing to a new fixed deposit or upgrading an existing one, it is vital to compare the most recent FD rates offered by the country's top PSU banks such as Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, & Canara Bank. Here we have compared the FD rates of these 3 PSU banks as these banks have recently hiked Interest rates on FDs. One of these banks now offers more than 7 percent interest rate on FD.
