Latest FD Rate Comparison: As the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has lowered its key benchmark lending repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25 per cent from 5.50 per cent, major public and private lenders tend to follow the policy change by lowering their interest rates on loans and fixed deposits (FDs).

In the near future, customers will get less interest rate on FDs than the current environment, making this safe and popular financial instrument less attractive.

Hence, customers have last few days to enjoy higher rates on FDs before banks announce new rates.
