State Bank of India (SBI), offers 6.8 per cent interest for a tenure of one year to less than two years.
Small finance banks (SFBs) are niche banks which aim to extend financial services to under-banked customers. Since these banks are new, they offer higher interest rates than mainstream banks because they want to attract more customers. They also offer door-step services to customers. Consider this: on deposits below Rs. 1 crore, the largest lender of the country, State Bank of India (SBI), offers 6.8 per cent interest for a tenure of one year to less than two years. Jana Small Finance Bank offers 8.5 per cent for 181-365 days; Ujjivan Small Finance Bank pays 7.5 per cent on a tenor of 180 days to 364 days and Equitas Small Finance Bank pays 7.50 per cent for a period of 271 – 364 days.
