Savings account interest rate after RBI’s repo rate cut: Quick comparison of latest interest rate on HDFC, SBI, ICICI, PNB savings account

FinanceLaneby FinanceLane
February 13, 2025

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps)—from 6.50% to 6.25%—during its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting on February 7, 2025. This marks the first reduction in the repo rate by the RBI since 2020. The repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks for their short-term liquidity requirements. A reduction in this rate lowers the cost of borrowing for banks, which can lead to decreased interest rates on loans and deposits for consumers.

Will the rate cut impact savings account interest rates?

When the RBI lowers the repo rate, it becomes cheaper for banks to borrow funds. As a result, banks may lower the interest rates on savings accounts in order to maintain their profit margins. On the other hand, when the Reserve Bank raises the repo rate, banks may raise interest rates on savings accounts to attract more deposits, as per AU Small Finance Bank website.

Last window for FD investors to book FDs at higher rate has officially started as RBI cuts repo rate after a 5 years gapFollowing the RBI’s reduction of the repo rate, there are expectations that banks might lower interest rates on savings accounts. In fact, RBL Bank has already reduced the interest rate it gives on small balances by 25 basis points (bps).

The interest rate on savings accounts is calculated based on the account holder’s daily closing balance. The interest is credited to the account holder’s account on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the bank’s discretion.

Here is a quick comparison of interest rates offered on savings accounts by some of the leading banks, including State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Punjab National Bank (PNB), and Bank of Baroda. Let’s see where you can earn the highest interest on your savings.
