SBI steeply slashes fixed deposit rates; check out latest rates here
Mumbai, Nov 08: Country's largest lender State Bank of India on Friday steeply slashed retail fixed deposit or FD rates, citing adequate liquidity in the system. As part of the latest rates revision, SBI reduced its marginal cost of fund-based lending rate (MCLR) by 5 basis points across all tenors, effective November 10, and sharply slashed the deposits pricing between 15 basis points for maturity between one year to less than two years.
This is the seventh consecutive cut in lending rates by the bank this fiscal. With this reduction, the one-year MCLR, to which most of its loan prices are linked, will come down to 8 per cent, the bank said in a statement.
