Latest 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.

Hi Manish, 1) If you are refering Birla SL Savings fund, this is ultra short term fund. If you are short term investor, you can stay invested. 2) ICICI Pru flexi income is also ultra short term fund. You can stay invested for short term. These are debt funds, hence they are low risk.
Dear sir,
under above table of Fixed deposit,DCB bank is not mentioned.DCB banks gives 9.75% Interest rate. Is what better option for Investment or not?
Sagar, I have covered major public, private and foreign banks. All small banks offer high interest to attract FD schemes. Invest in large banks to safeguard your money.
Suresh, please check interest rates of SBH (for below 1 cr). I find some discrepency – http://www.sbhyd.com/interest-rates/deposit-schemes/
Hi Rishi, I personally took the info from SBH website on 19-Oct-13 – 11 am. Looks there is an update after this in this portal. Would update in next version. Tks for pointing it out.
Thanks for the efforts, Suresh!
Additional bit for your readers: State Bank of Hyderabad is giving 9.55% for 555 days on account of festival season (from 5-Oct-2013 to 5-Nov-2013). No premature withdrawal penalty.
In case, people are interested in private banks, Tamilnad Mercantile Bank is giving 10% for 2 years tenure.
Thanks Rishi, this should be useful info for readers.

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.
Sure Nag, will do that going forward.
