RBI Mandates Daily Disclosure of Bulk Fixed Deposit Rates from October 1
From October 1, the Reserve Bank of India will require scheduled commercial banks to disclose interest rates for bulk fixed deposits of ₹3 crore or more daily by 10 AM on their websites. This change aims to enhance transparency and provide large depositors with clear, consistent rate information before placing deposits. The rules primarily affect large investors, with retail fixed deposits below the threshold generally unaffected. Banks must honor the published rates, promoting fairer pricing and easier comparison across institutions.
