Update: March 19th 2011
Here is a list of 20 bank interest rates of Indian banks. These are applicable from Jan 10th 2011, and the banks may change this anytime, so this list may not be up to date. Each bank name is linked to the website of the bank and clicking it will land you on the page which has the latest deposit rates. Click that to ensure that the data you are viewing is up to date.
Most banks have laid out terms which are not very easy to compare from one to another, and so I have taken the rates which I found on most websites. Most of these rates are for deposits of under Rs. 15 lakhs.
I stopped at 20 because each bank has listed out its terms differently and I wasn’t happy with the bank interest rate comparison chart that follows. Treat this as a sort of a rough comparison chart of interest rates offered by Indian banks.
Update: Despite its limitations and lot of people found this page useful, so I decided to include a few more banks and provide you a list of 30 banks here.

Hi Manshu
I hope that the readers of onemint will find following links useful
A. Get the Highest FD Interest Rates
1. For Fixed Deposits
2. Tax Savings Fixed Deposits
3. NRI Fixed Deposits
http://www.ratekhoj.com/fixed-deposits/index.php
A (a) Fixed Deposit Rates
You can get FD rates based on institution types like banks (Public Sector / Nationalized Banks, Indian Private Sector Banks, Foreign Banks, Cooperative Banks, Post Office Savings Schemes, Companies etc.). You can get interest rates selecting as per deposit period range or you can select specific deposit period for your fixed deposit. You can also search for senior citizen and non senior rates as well. Many banks pay different rates of interest for large deposits, you can select this criteria as well.
The search is broadly categorized in 4 types:
1. FD rates based on institution type/deposit period range
2. FD rates based on institution type/specific deposit period
3. FD rates in selected institutions/deposit period range
4. FD rates in selected institutions/deposit period range
You then fill your search criteria and the resulting table can runs into hundreds of pages. In many cases you have to narrow your search or you have to be specific in your search so that the table may not run in many pages.
You can sort this table as per you choice as per alphabetical list of institutions, period of deposit and rate of interest (highest to lowest) by clicking on the first row of the table.
