The interest rate on savings bank accounts remains the same ever since it was changed to 2.75 percent on June 15, 2022.
It is noteworthy to mention here that ever since the banking regulator RBI raised repo rates by 90 basis points in a span of two months, commercial lenders have been raising interest rates on term deposits as well as savings account one after the other.
In July itself, Kotak Mahindra and Punjab National Bank have raised their interest rates. HDFC Bank raised its FD rates in June, South Indian Bank raised in April followed by Bajaj Finance Bank.
