HDFC Bank has reduced the interest rates on its fixed deposit accounts by up to 50 basis points (bps) on select tenures. The lower FD rates are applicable for FD amounts below Rs 3 crore. The new rates are applicable from today, i.e., April 19, 2025. Earlier, the bank also reduced the savings account interest rate by 25 basis points. The reduction in the savings account and fixed deposit interest rate has come after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points each time in MPC meet of February and April this year. After the FD rate cut, the bank offers FD interest rates between 3% and 7.10% for general citizens and 3.5% to 7.55% for senior citizens.

There is no change in the one-year FD interest rate. The general public can book an FD at 6.60% per annum for one year, and senior citizens can book an FD at 7.10% per annum for a one-year FD. However, senior citizens will get the highest FD interest rate of 7.55% per annum on booking a 15-month to 18-month tenure FD. It is essential to note that the bank discontinued the special edition FD scheme, which offered higher interest rates, effective April 1, 2025.
