These 5 Banks Offer More Than 7% Interest Rate On Select FD Tenors; Check Out Rates Here

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its September Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting hiked the repo rate 4th time by 0.50%. Since May 2022, the MPC has increased interest rates 4 times by a total of 190 basis points. As a result of this repo rate hike, several banks such as Axis bank, Indian Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, RBL Bank and a few others have hiked their FD rates.

The four consecutive hikes in the repo rate, resulted in FD rate rise, which made FDs more appealing to FD investors. Since the era of historically low FD rates is undoubtedly over, FD investors can look forward to brighter times in the future.
