Senior citizens to get up to 7.6 % return on FDs from these private sector banks

After the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised the repo rate by 0.50 per cent to 5.90 per cent to contain inflation, banks have boosted their lending and deposit rates to meet the demand for credit. Investors should look for a bank that not only promises the biggest return but also gives interest rates that surpass inflation in light of banks’ recent hikes in interest rates. Retail inflation, which was 6.71 per cent in July according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), increased to 7.00 per cent in August. Getting fixed-deposit rates that outpace inflation in the current context is not a difficult task, especially for elderly people. Here, we have come up with some options for some leading private sector banks which have been offering higher interest rates: RBL Bank: RBL Bank raised its interest rates on domestic deposits under Rs 2 crore on 1 October this year.

Senior citizens at RBL Bank who are 60 to below 80 years old are eligible for an additional 0.50 per cent per annum interest rate, and super senior citizens who are 80 years and older qualify for an additional 0.75 per cent p.a. interest rate.
