This marks a sharp cut from the earlier regime, under which balances above Rs 5 lakh and up to Rs 5 crore earned 7% interest, while deposits above Rs 5 crore and up to Rs 10 crore earned 6.75%.
Market participants viewed the move as margin-accretive, as it lowers the bank’s cost of funds. Deposit slabs above Rs 10 crore remain unchanged, with rates of 6% for balances up to Rs 25 crore, 5% up to Rs 100 crore and 4% beyond Rs 100 crore.
