Axis Bank, and Canara Bank have revised interest rates on fixed deposits for amounts less than ₹2 crore. This comes after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 6.5 per cent for the third time in a row. The decision to keep policy interest rate unchanged was announced by RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das on 10 August. The repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks. According to the bank's website, the new rates are effective from August 14, 2023. Following the revision, the bank will offer interest rates ranging from 3.5% to 7.3% on deposits maturing in seven days to ten years for the general public.
