SBI savings accounts will now earn 2.7% interest per annum. At ICICI Bank, savings accounts with balance less than Rs 50 lakh will now earn 3% per annum, while those with balance of  Rs 50 lakh and more will yield 3.5%.

SBI’s is currently the lowest savings rate being offered in the banking system, followed by that of ICICI Bank. Savings deposits with HDFC Bank and Bank of Baroda (BoB) yield a little more at 3.25%.

In two back-to-back monetary policy reviews, the monetary policy committee (MPC) has lowered the repo rate by 115 bps between March 27 and May 22. As a portion of banks’ loan books are now linked directly to the repo, they have been quick to pass on the rate cuts to deposits as well.
