Last Updated: 2009-11-06 21:12:33
The country's largest lender State Bank of India has lowered deposit rates by 25-50 basis points on amounts less than Rs.1 crore effective Nov 9.
The new interest rate for a deposit of 15-45 days would be 2.5 per cent, down from the current 2.75 per cent, while the rates for 181 days to less than a year deposits have been cut by 50 basis points to 5.25 per cent.
Long-term deposit rates of three years to 10 years have, however, been left unchanged.
The state-run bank controls about a quarter of the country's loans and deposits.
