ICICI Bank cuts fixed deposit (FD) rates.


• Currently, banks have ample liquidity, and a comparatively less demand for loans due to the lockdown
• This has put pressure on deposit rates
Private sector lender ICICI Bank has revised fixed deposit rates, effective from today. Many banks have been lowering their deposit rates citing surplus liquidity. Earlier this month, on June 4, ICICI Bank had cut interest rate on savings account deposits of less than ₹50 lakh to 3%, a reduction of by 25 bps as against 3.25% earlier. Likewise, for deposits of ₹50 lakh and above, the account holders will earn interest of 3.50%, down from 3.75%.
Currently, banks have ample liquidity, and a comparatively less demand for loans due to the lockdown. This has put pressure on deposit rates.
Starting from interest rate of 2.75% on FD deposits between 7 days to 14 days, ICICI Bank is currently offering 5.15% on deposits between 1 year to 389 days. Customers get 5.35% on FDs with maturity between 18 months days and 2 years 5.35% which rises to 5.50% on deposits of over three years.
Senior citizens get an additional interest rate of 50 basis points across all maturities.
