RBI has been steadily raising interest rates for the past few months. Due to this, the income from loan interest and bank schemes has increased in line with the rise in interest rates. As a part of this, interest rates on FD schemes known as Fixed Deposits have increased significantly. However, some banks have now started reducing interest rates on their FD schemes. If you want to invest in FD, you need to know which banks have reduced their interest rates. Let’s take a look at the banks that have recently implemented interest rate cuts on FD schemes.
