SBI New FD Rates 2020: The country’s largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI), has slashed the interest rate on fixed deposits(FDs), also known as term deposits. Those banking on fixed deposits (FD) of the State Bank of India (SBI) will have to settle for a little less now. Effective February 10, the SBI FD interest rates have been cut across all durations of deposit above 181 days. The 1-year FD rate of interest will now stand at 6 percent as against 6.10 percent earlier. In spite of RBI keeping the repo rate constant, the interest rate movement seems to be on the downtrend.

The current rate of interest on 1-year SBI FD is 6 percent per annum, down from 6.10 percent per annum. The same rate of interest is applicable for deposits of ‘1 year to less than 2 years’, ‘2 years to less than 3 years’, ‘3 years to less than 5 years’ and ‘5 years and up to 10 years.’ For senior citizens, the additional interest rate of 0.5 percent will continue as before.
