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?

Hi Manshu
I hope that the readers of onemint will find following links useful
A. Get the Highest FD Interest Rates

2. Tax Savings Fixed Deposits

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.

As suggested by Umesh I went through the site http://www.ratekhoj.com today and found the site quite informative and really useful. Further a few days back I had gone through another site http://www.thebankingbible.com and hope that this site would also be useful for the readers. Here are the links of the site.

Dear sir,
i appreciate your services to public but please check before posting or please regularly watch related website and update frequently when the market rates are change because idbi bank rate of interest is changed.
for your reference please visit http://www.idbi.com/interest_rate.asp
thanking you
yours faithfully,
ramesh-chennai 4th avenue
sir , i came to know that some of banks are giving initially with high interest rate and then reducing their interest rates , why it is i don’t know please reply . i am kishore.
No Kishore, they can’t and won’t do it. So, if you go to SBI and say you want to open a FD for five years, and then they say that this is the rate of interest you will get – you will continue to get that rate of interest for the duration of your FD.
I appreciate your efforts to provide much needed information of FD rates of many banks. It will be very much usefull to me.
It would be more justified if u include in youe list banks such Yes Bank which gives higher rate of interest on FDS. eg. it provides 10.60% to Senior Citizen for 15 months 20 days.
Dear Sir,
I am an NRE, planning to return to India soon.I would like to deposit my gratuity in a bank that gives maximum monthly interest.Please let me know the interest rate and the bank.
Thanks.

I don’t know anything about crop loan to be able to answer you but if you feel that you’re not being treated fairly you can try approaching the banking ombudsman. Here is a link with some details.

hi!
The bellow mentioned following bank decleared rate of intrest .But, here i am very confused about that, if keeping my money for 5 year , i well get lower rate of intrest compare to 3 year . kindly advise me what is the reason for the same.
1 Year to < 2 years 2 Years to < 3 years 3 Years to < 5 years More than 5
1 Allahabad Bank 8.00% 8.25% 8.25% 8.30%
2 Andhra Bank 9.00% 9.25% 8.00% 8.00%
3 Axis Bank 8.75% 8.25% 7.00% 7.00%
4 Bank of Baroda 8.75% 9.10% 8.75% 8.25%
5 Bank of India 8.75% 9.25% 8.25% 7.00
Banks expect interest rate to lower in a longer time frame, you can take advantage of the higher rates right now by shorter durations. The other way of locking a high interest rate like 9.75% or so for ten or fifteen years can be by buying SBI bonds from the secondary market.
I am an Administrative Officer presently working as Executive Officer to Malai Mahadeshwara Hills, Chamarajanagara District, Karnataka State. I want to find out which Nationalised bank is ready to offer highest interest rates for more than one crore and for less than 5 crore (Temple money). Interested Natonalised bank should also be willing to gift required items to the temple which should be equivalent to 1% of the deposit amount and it should be over and above the interest rate specified by them. Interested banks may please contact me on my email and sent their offer with telephone nos address and email to my email immediately.
