The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced the repo rate in the consecutive third monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting in 2025. The RBI cut the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.50 per cent along with reducing the cash reserve ratio (CRR) requirement of the banks. As this adds to the banks’ liquidity, they would not be willing to offer higher rates on deposits. So, the deposit rates are expected to go down in the next few months, as banks transmit the impact of repo rate cuts.
Amid this, senior citizens, who typically rely on bank fixed deposits (FDs) for a guaranteed and steady income may like to look at these rates to book FDs before the repo rate transmission is fully realised.
During the week ending June 7, 2025, 15 banks, including Punjab National Bank, Bank of India, UCO Bank, Canara Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, Dhanlaxmi Bank, City Union Bank, Karnataka Bank, IDFC First Bank, Federal Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IndusInd Bank, Equitas Small Finance Bank (SFB), Jana SFB, and Suryoday SFB, revised their FD rates.
