New RD Rates 2023: Over the past year, not only Fixed Deposits (FDs) but also Recurring Deposits (RDs) have witnessed an increase in interest rates.
Several banks are now offering investors interest rates nearing 10 percent on their recurring deposits. This presents a promising opportunity, particularly for those seeking secure investment options.
The surge in FD and RD interest rates can be attributed to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision to raise the repo rate. In the past year, the repo rate has climbed from 4.40 percent in May 2022 to 6.50 percent.
