RBI Extends Deadline for Banks to Implement New Bulk Deposit Rate Rules
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has extended the deadline to October 1, 2026, for banks to implement new rules on differential interest rates for bulk deposits of Rs 3 crore and above. Banks must offer uniform rates across all branches for similar deposits made on the same day and disclose these rates daily on their websites by 10:10 am. The rules allow banks to vary rates based on liquidity coverage ratio run-off rates, aiming to increase transparency and fairness in bulk deposit pricing across the banking sector.
