Latest Bank FD Rates in India-Oct-2013Latest Bank FD Interest Rates in India-Oct-2013

Latest Bank FD rates in India indicate that there is an increase in interest rates in the last few days. Several tax free bonds like PFC, IIFCL and NHPC bonds have given tough competition to Banks as they were offering almost similar interest rates, but that comes tax free. Going forward, we expect that Bank FD interest rates may increase.

Positive movers

a) Foreign banks: After a long time, I am seeing that Deutsche Bank has altered its interest rates on positive side. Its 4 years interest rates are increased to 8.5%.

b) Private Banks: There is no positive movement in interest rates under private banks.

c) Public Sector Banks: Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Corporation Bank and SBI have increased the interest rates marginally.

Negative Movers

a) Foreign Banks: Last month Deutsche Bank has cut down the rates. Even this month they have reduced the interest rates for 1 and 2 years deposits. HSBC too has reduced 1 year interest rate.

b) Private Banks: HDFC and KVB have reduced short term interest rate for 1 year.

c) Public Sector Banks: Last month Andhra Bank offered highest interest rates of 9.5%. This month it slashed it to 9.1%. SBH also reduced 2 to 5 year FD interest rates.

    Please include special FD schemes also with this list. I heard there is highest rate 9.55% for 555 days in SBH.

    If those kind of schemes are included, this will be much more useful.
