Should you lock your FD before banks cut their interest rates? These 6 lenders offer highest rates on fixed deposits
With repo rate declining to 5.50 percent after RBI's monetary policy committee (MPC) cut the repo rate for the third consecutive time on June 6, banks have followed suit. A number of bankss have already slashed their lending rate after RBI's rate cut. Not only lending rates, even the fixed deposit (FD) interest rates are also set to move southward in the wake of repo rate cut. Consequently, depositors are recommended to lock their savings into fixed deposits (FD) before the rates are cut again. So, if you are exploring the idea of opening a fixed deposit, you may check the interest rates offered by top banks both private and state. 'There may be one more cut of 25 basis point in next 6 months and so which will lead to further reduction in FD interest rate. So if you need money for your short term goals of 1 to 3 years and make the FD as soon as possible. But make a note that putting more money in FD blocks your money at the lower rate,' says Preeti Zende, founder of Apna Dhan Financial Services. I. State Bank of India (SBI): SBI's highest interest rate of 6.7 percent is offered on a deposit with two to three-year tenure. On one-year tenure, it offers 6.5 percent interest. These rates came into force on May 16, 2025. II. HDFC Bank: HDFC Bank offers highest interest rate of 6.85 percent per annum to general citizens on a fixed deposit tenure of 15-21 months. Senior Citizens are entitled to receive an extra 50 basis points. These rates came into force on May 23, 2025. III. ICICI Bank: ICICI Bank offers highest interest of 6.6 percent to general citizens on a tenure of 2-5 years. Senior citizens are entitled to receive 7.1 percent per annum. IV. Union Bank of India: Union Bank offers highest rate of 7.15 percent per annum on a tenure of 456 days. These rates came into force on April 25, 2025. V. Bank of Baroda (BOB): Bank of Baroda offers highest interest rate of 7 percent on the deposit of 444 days (BOB Square Drive Deposit Scheme) to general citizens. Senior citizens are entitled to receive an extra 50 basis points. These rates came into force on May 29, 2025. VI. Kotak Mahindra Bank: Kotak Mahindra Bank revised its interest rates and now the highest interest rate of 6.6 percent is offered on a tenure of 391 days to 23 months to general citizens and an extra 50 basis points to senior citizens.

Indian banks must urgently embrace AI, privacy technologies to comply with DPDP Act: Report
New Delhi [India], June 9 (ANI): Indian banks must urgently adopt artificial intelligence (AI), privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), and privacy-by-design strategies to effectively comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), according to a report released by Protiviti. The report, titled 'Navigating DPDPA in Banking: Compliance, Impact, and AI-Powered Strategies for Futureproofing', was unveiled at the 4th IBA CISO Summit 2025, hosted by the Indian Banks' Association. It highlighted that the regulatory and operational impact of DPDPA will be far-reaching, and banks must re-engineer their critical functions to align with privacy-by-design principles in order to meet the requirements of India's most comprehensive data protection law to date. The report offered sector-specific insights, guiding banks on how to harmonise DPDPA compliance with existing regulations issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). It also identified unique privacy risks for the banking sector, including algorithmic profiling, third-party data sharing, and challenges in managing customer consent. An operational playbook is presented to help banks integrate privacy-by-design principles across core functions such as Know Your Customer (KYC) and fraud detection, along with strategies to automate compliance efforts. Furthermore, the report highlighted the role of technology and AI in enabling scalable and efficient privacy solutions. Protiviti noted that due to the volume and sensitivity of personal data handled, banks are likely to be classified as Significant Data Fiduciaries (SDFs) under DPDPA. This status brings enhanced obligations such as conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), ensuring algorithmic transparency, performing regular data audits, and appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The report advised that compliance should not be treated as a one-time project but rather approached through a risk-based, adaptive operating model that can evolve with emerging threats, regulatory developments, and technological advancements. It also encourages banks to embed AI wherever suitable to enhance operational efficiency and streamline privacy management. The report also pointed out the urgent need for stronger data governance, cross-functional accountability, and AI-driven privacy solutions within the banking sector. It stressed that regulatory alignment, customer trust, and digital innovation must move forward together. It also noted that the DPDPA will overlap with sector-specific guidelines from RBI and SEBI, adding new layers of compliance. For instance, existing RBI data retention rules will need to align with DPDPA's principles of data minimization and storage limitation, while breach reporting obligations must cater to both financial regulators and the new Data Protection Board of India.
