However, for maturities of 7-14 days, the rate of interest has been increased from 4 per cent to 4.75 per cent, 15-29 days deposits would attract 5 per cent from 4.5 per cent and for maturities of 180 days to less than one year, the rate would be 6 per cent (5.75 per cent).

The rate of interest on term deposit of senior citizens will be 0.5 per cent higher on the maturity of less than one year and 0.75 per cent higher for maturities of one year and above.
