May 2018 – Latest SBI Fixed Deposit Rates / Recurring Deposit Rates (Updated May-2018)


I was just going through the SBI FD Interest Rates yesterday. I was comparing them in last 3-4 months and observed that for short term of less than 1 year, SBI FD interest rates have been reduced drastically. However for medium to long term, there  is minor increase. I believe in investing in large banks for my FD's rather than investing in small banks. While private banks have been paying good interest rates, I found that SBI FD Interest rates are good for medium term to long term. Below are the comprehensive list of latest SBI FD rates.
