Suryoday Small Finance Bank has joined the growing list of banks that have lowered interest rates on fixed deposits (FDs) recently. The Navi Mumbai-based bank has announced a revision to its fixed deposit (FD) interest rates, which will take effect from June 1, 2025. The bank currently offers the highest interest rate of 9.10% on FDs to senior citizens; however, this rate will only be available until May 31, 2025, giving customers a narrow window of few days to lock in the existing high interest rate.

From June 1, 2025, Suryoday Small Finance Bank will offer interest rates on FDs ranging from 4% to 8% for general citizens on deposits below Rs 3 crore. The most notable change is in the 5-year FDs, where the interest rate has been reduced by 60 basis points (bps)-from 8.6% to 8%.
For senior citizens, the revised FD rates will be between 4.4% and 8.4%, starting June 1, 2025. The bank has uniformly reduced rates by 10 bps across all tenures, while the 5-year tenure sees the sharper cut of 70 bps-down from 9.1% to 8.4%.

In order to benefit from the higher current rates, investors who want to optimise their interest income from fixed deposits, particularly senior citizens, should think about scheduling their FDs before June 1, 2025. Even the most competitive rates will yield less profits following the change.
FD rate revisions by other banks
In the past 10 days, big banks such as State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, Canara Bank, and ICICI Bank have reduced their fixed deposit interest rates on their highest tenures.
