SBI cuts select deposit rates, tweaks lending benchmarks after 25 bps reduction in policy rate
SAllen tate camber of bharat (SBI) has lowered rates on select rigid deposits and revised its loaning benchmarks, following the recent reduction in the policy rate. The revised rates will come into force from December 15.The decision comes after a 25 basis point cut in the policy rate, which led to lower yields on loans linked to external benchmarks. This, in turn, reduced interest income for banks, prompting SBI to adjust both deposit and lending rates.Also read| Inside ABD’s plan to build a luxury alcobev house for India’s rapidly premiumising customerAs part of the changes, SBI has reduced the interest rate on its popular 444-day fixed deposit to 6.5 per cent from 6.6 per cent.
