RBI Mandates Daily Disclosure of Bulk Fixed Deposit Rates from October 1, 2026
From October 1, 2026, the Reserve Bank of India will require banks to publish bulk fixed deposit interest rates for deposits of Rs 3 crore and above on their websites by 10 am each business day, with a 10-minute grace period. Banks must honor the published rates and offer consistent rates for similar deposits across all branches on the same day. These rules aim to enhance transparency and uniformity in bulk FD pricing, while allowing rate differentiation based on deposit liquidity characteristics under the Liquidity Coverage Ratio framework.
