Saving Account Interest Rate : After the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the repo rate by 0.50% (50 basis points) in June 2025, many big banks of the country have reduced the interest rates on their savings accounts.
Due to this, bank customers will now get less interest than before, especially those account holders who have a large amount in their bank account. Customers will have to plan their investment or savings by taking information about the interest rates of their bank.
SBI reduced interest rates on savings accounts
The country’s largest bank, State Bank of India (SBI), has made the interest rate on all savings accounts uniformly 2.5% per annum from June 15, 2025. Earlier, SBI used to pay 2.7% interest on small accounts (less than Rs 10 crore) and 3% on large accounts (Rs 10 crore or more). Now the same rate will be applicable on every account.
HDFC Bank also reduced the rate
HDFC Bank has reduced the interest rate on all savings accounts to 2.75% per annum from June 10, 2025. Earlier, 2.75% interest was available on amounts less than ₹ 50 lakh and 3.25% interest was available on ₹ 50 lakh or more. Now all accounts will get the same interest.
