From ICICI to HDFC Bank, check FD interest rates of India’s top private banks

On June 8, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its monetary policy committee (MPC) review, kept the repo rate — the interest rate at which the central bank lends money to commercial banks — on hold at 6.5 per cent. In the June 2023 policy, the central bank followed a similar move in its April review, which came after raising the key lending rate by 250 basis points (bps) in six installments starting from May 2022.
