Fixed deposits interest rates in India

Update: I am no longer updating this page, but you can find some of the best interest rates currently offered in India here.

As I reviewed my bank interest rates in India page to see if it needed to be updated – I saw that I didn’t include a few banks that were paying a pretty decent interest rate on fixed deposits in India.

So, let me show you an updated table of banks and the fixed deposit interest rates they are paying right now. As I went about making this fixed deposit comparison, I realized that a lot of banks pay less than 3.5% on fixed deposits of say 45 days or less. The savings account pays 3.5% so why would anyone make a fixed deposit of anything less than 3.5%?

Am I missing something?

  1. Please let me know what was the Andhra Bank FD interest rate for 3 years & above on 1 Dec 2015.

    Also is there any website where you can get the historical data of the FD & SB Interest Rates for Indian Public & Private Sector Banks.

    Thanks
