Savings Account Interest Rate: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its monetary policy meeting on February 7, 2025, reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points from 6.50 percent to 6.25 percent. The Reserve Bank has reduced the repo rate for the first time since 2020. The repo rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks are allowed to borrow funds against various collaterals. When the repo rate is low, the interest rate also decreases. That is, the interest on the loan is reduced. Today we will talk to you about the interest rates of some big banks on savings accounts.
