What is the effect?

It is clear from this revision that the major banks of the country are now moving towards low interest rates. This may cause a slight shock to the customers who expect safe and certain returns in FDs. Also, those who were thinking of investing in IDBI’s special ‘Utsav Deposit’ scheme, now have a little more time, but with a little lower interest rate. In view of RBI’s monetary policy and economic conditions, further changes in interest rates are possible.
