Five banks, including the Central Bank of India (CBI), Union Bank of India (UBI), J&K Bank, Suryoday Small Finance Bank (SFB), and Shivalik SFB, revised their fixed deposit (FD) interest rates during the week ending July 12, 2025. Although these have revised their FD interest rates downward, one may check these rates for investing in them based on their asset allocation mix in their portfolio. Generally, seniors prefer banks’ FDs due to their easy accessibility, in-person services, and the flexibility to withdraw money whenever required. However, in the current scenario of falling interest rates, very few banks now offer more than 8.00 per cent to senior citizens.
