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.

  4. Hiii. I couldn’t understand FD PLANS in 30 days
    I have 10 lac how many interest of par month only intrest

  5. Hi, Suresh,

    I have 5 Lac Rs cash, kindly suggest whether i can invest it. i am visited so many banker website. Now i am little confuse because i ma searching flat and it could finalize another 6 to 8 months. in that case i have to need money. kindly suggest.

  6. Hi,

    I invested 10 lakhs in Indian Bank in 2013 @ 9% for 2 years. Maturity amount in 2015 shows 11,94,831/- . On inquiring with the bank shows interest is being compounded quarterly. Is this calculation right? As i feel the interest would be around 2 lakhs as calculated with the online FD calculator. Thanks.

  7. Dear Sir, 

     I  am a senior citizen. Recently I have opened a fixed deposit of rs.1 lac for three years in SBI.The interst rate is 9 % on this FD.When today I SEARCHED INTEREST RATE FOR OTHER PERIODS I.E FOR TWO YEARS IT IS 9.25%. I understand that i have commited mistake by opting for three years for less interest. I should have opted for two years FD. I am not able to understand why roi is less for three years than two years .Kindly inform whether three years fd ' s interest is tax free or under 80 c otherwise what is reason.

  8. dear Sir,

    my age is 62. I just want to know, if i deposit 10 lakhs IRS fixed deposit  for one year, how much interest I will get monthly.

    How much maximum amount I can deposit in my account without tax.

    please reply

     

    1. Suresh Menon, I could not understand IRS. I felt you are meaning regular FD scheme. If my understanding is right, you would get Rs 95,000 per annum as FD interest as the current interest rates is 9.5% to senior citizens. If you do not have any other income, you can invest Rs 26.50 Lakhs so that the interest received of Rs 2.50 Lakhs is exempted from tax (Sr. Citizens)

  9. Helo Sir, I have a doubt about FD interest rates of SBI, Please clarify my query based on following senario

    I have to open 10000 Rs. FD in SBI but I need my money in November 2014 so I have only 10 months to invest, now if I invest for 10 months I get interest rate as 7.5% and to get interest of 9% I have to invest for minimum 1 year.

    But what if I openFD for 1 year to get 9% interest & closed it (premature withdrwal) after 10 months so as per the rules they offer me 0.5 % less interest so I can get interest rate of 8.5 % on my FD is it possible ?

    Please guide me Sir, waiting for your answer.

    1. Hi Sanket, I prefer the second option. You invest for 1 year and if required withdraw in 10 months. This way you can expect highest interest. But your computation is not correct. They would provide 0.5% less but 8.5% is per annum. If you invest Rs 10,000 8.5% works out to be Rs 850. However this is for 12 months, but you are depositing for 10 months only, hence you would get Rs 708.33.
