How is the Savings Account Interest Rates Calculated?
Interest will be calculated on progressive balances in each Interest Rate Slab, as applicable
For Example:
- In case your account balance with us is Rs. 25,000, the interest payable to you will be 4% on the entire Rs. 25,000.
- In case your account balance with us is Rs. 5 lakh, the interest payable to you will be 4% on the entire amount of Rs. 5 lakh.
- In case your account balance with us is Rs. 1.10 crore, the interest payable to you will be 4% on Rs. 10 lakh and 6.75% on Rs. 1 crore.
- In case your account balance with us is Rs. 5.3 crore, the interest payable to you will be 4% on Rs. 10 lakh and 6.75% on Rs. 5.2 crore.
No, there are no deadlines or maturities associated with savings accounts. As long as there are funds in your account, you will receive interest. But make sure you keep the average monthly balance in your account (AMB).
