Update: October 18 2012
I updated my bank interest rates page yesterday, and realized how many different types of interest rates there are. So, I thought I’d create this page with State Bank of India interest rates that will act as a reference for different types of interest rates as well as a ready reference – if someone is specifically interested in SBI interest rates.
1. Domestic Term Deposits: The first one in the list is interest rates for domestic term deposits below one crore rupees.
Here is the table that has those rates.

4. SBI staff and pensioners: If you are a SBI employee or pensioner – you will get 1% extra on top of the regular interest rate. If you are a pensioner above 60 years old, then you will get dual benefit – 0.50% extra for senior citizens, and 1% extra for the staff.
5. Savings Bank Interest Rates: Savings account get an interest rate of 3.5%.
Let me know if I missed out anything or if you have any other questions, and also look at the fixed deposit rates in India offered by other banks.
If you are a NRI, then the NRI Interest Rates page will be more meaningful for you, and if you are looking for more information on fixed deposits, then this page lists down more resources on fixed deposits.

I have deposited an amount of Rs. 125000/- in SBI on 23.10.2008 as term deposit. On 20 Apr 09 , an amount of Rs.5302 credited as interest. On 18 Oct 09,an amount of Rs.4621 credited as interest and on 17 Apr 10,an amount of Rs.3902 credited as interest. On my online SBI window was showing,Deposit amount as 138825/- ,maturity date as 16 Oct 2010 , maturity amount as Rs.142468 and Rate of interest as 5.25%. On 5 Oct 2010(before 11 days of maturity-on 171st day ), I have closed this account and I was paid only Rs.141264 including interest of Rs. 2,439.00. Could some one please explain whether their calculation is right or wrong?
So, looks like you were paid a little less because you withdrew early, and you’re curious to know whether they levied an extra fine or something. Is that right?
Why don’t you ask them to explain how they calculated the interest for the last period – that will clarify your answers.
In the case of premature closure of deposits banks adopt the following process – at least in India
1. The duration/tenure up to which the deposit was lying with the bank.
2. the current rate of interest applicable for the above period
3. reduce from that rate 2%
4. calculate the eligible interest amount based on the new rate
5. recover any excess interest paid out earlier – difference of amount of interest credited to your account at the old rate and the eligible interest at the new rate
6. the net impact is that, you have received lesser interest
I suggest that, henceforth if you are in need of funds, pl try and obtain a loan against the deposit with the bank. this facility is available with your deposit bank itself. the loss would be reasonable.
Hope the point is clarified to your satisfaction

Thank you very much for explaining this arjeyar – this info will come in handy for a lot of people.
Arjeyar, usually the amount reduced is roughly 0.5%. So if the rate was 7.5%, and if the FD was withdrawn prematurely, then the final amt calculated will be at 7% and not 7.5%. Reducing 2% is quite huge and I don’t think is viable.
