RBI Extends Deadline for Banks to Implement New Bulk Deposit Interest Rate Rules
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has extended the deadline to October 1, 2026, for banks to implement new rules on bulk deposit interest rates. Banks can now offer differential rates on bulk deposits of Rs 3 crore and above based on liquidity coverage ratio run-off rates, while maintaining uniform rates across branches for similar deposits on the same day. Banks must disclose bulk deposit rates daily on their websites by 10:10 a.m. These changes aim to enhance transparency and reflect liquidity risk in deposit pricing.
