Punjab National Bank And Union Bank Of India Raise FD Interest Rates Ahead Of Diwali
After the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) began raising its repo rate, most Indian banks altered their fixed deposit rates several times. Since May, the Reserve Bank of India has lifted its short-term lending rate for the third time in a row, raising the primary interest rate by 190 basis points. To keep increasing inflation, the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) hiked the key lending rate, or repo rate, to 5.90% on September 30, the highest since April 2019.
