Fixed Deposit Interest Rates: Investing your hard-earned money in a bank is one of the best options available to you. Among the many types of investments in a bank, Fixed Deposits (FDs) are the most popular. Not only do they provide great profits in a short period of time, but there is also no risk of losing your money. In February 2023, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI Bank) increased the repo rate by 25 basis points in its monetary policy meeting, resulting in a new rate of 6.50 percent. Many big banks in the country have subsequently increased the interest rates on their FDs. Let's take a look at which banks have increased their FD interest rates following the RBI's increase.
State Bank of India
The country's largest bank, State Bank of India (SBI Bank), has increased its FD interest rates by 5 to 25 basis points. These new interest rates, which are applicable to FDs up to Rs 2 crore, became effective from February 15, 2023.
Punjab National Bank
Punjab National Bank has raised the interest rates on its select FDs by up to 30 basis points.

These increased interest rates on FDs have come into effect from February 20, 2023.
