RBI Extends Deadline for Banks to Implement Bulk Deposit Rate Norms to October 1
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has extended the deadline for banks to implement new norms on differential interest rates for bulk deposits to October 1, 2026. Banks must disclose bulk deposit rates daily on their websites by 10:00 am, with a 10-minute grace period. While banks can offer varied rates on bulk deposits considering Liquidity Coverage Ratio run-off rates, interest rates must be uniform across all branches for similar deposits on the same day. Deposits below Rs 3 crore remain exempt from these rules.
