In view of abundant liquidity coupled with slower than anticipated credit pick up, State Bank of India (SBI) has decided to cut the deposit rates by 25 basis point to 8.75% in the 1-3 year category w.e.f.18.09.2014. Simultaneously, the bank has also decided to increase the deposit rate by 25 basis point in the 180-210 days category. With the inflation also trending down at a faster clip, this rate adjustment will continue to ensure that the savers are compensated adequately with a positive real rate on their deposits.
