SBI FD Interest Rates

SBI, short for State Bank of Indore, offers its customers multiple fixed deposit account options to park their surplus savings and enjoy attractive interest on it over a certain period. The depositor just needs to deposit the amount at the time of opening the account and choose a tenure that seems feasible to them. During the ongoing tenure, the customer is not allowed to deposit any more money or withdraw either. SBI FD Interest rates are quite competitive and are higher than the rates on their savings deposits.
