RBI Repo Rate Cut: Latest FD Rates Of ICICI, Kotak Mahindra, And HDFC Compared
Lenders such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank have announced the new FD rates for different tenures, shedding rates by few points.
Latest FD Rates Of Banks: Several private lenders have followed the suit of the Reserve Bank of India's decision to cut the repo rate, a benchmark lending rate, by 50 bps unexpectedly to 5.50 per cent from 6 per cent. While the decision leads to a decrease in the burden of EMIs on customers by making loans of different spectrums from home to personal cheaper, it works opposite on FD rates. Banks have begun decreasing the FD rates to align with the new repo rate.
Lenders such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank have announced the new FD rates for different tenures, shedding rates by few points.
When the repo rate decreases, it becomes easier for banks to borrow funds. So they don't need to rely on public to gather funds via FDs, therefore, they try to dissuade them or lower their cost of funds by lowering the rates.

The most noticeable rate revisions have been made in the 1 to 2-year segment. Deposits from 1 year to less than 15 months now offer 6.25% for general citizens and 6.75% for senior citizens. The highest rates currently offered are for tenures of 2 years 1 day to 10 years, where the general public can earn 6.60%, and senior citizens enjoy 7.10%.
Latest FD Rates Of HDFC Bank
HDFC Bank has reduced interest rates on select fixed deposit (FD) tenures by up to 25 basis points (bps). It applies to deposits less than 3 crore and becomes effective from June 10, 2025.

Trade unions, farmer bodies to go on general strike on Wed; may disrupt banking, other services
Banking, postal and other services are likely to face disruption on Wednesday as more than 25 crore workers affiliated with central and sectoral trade unions have announced to go on strike across the country to protest against new labour codes and privatisation, and press for demands such as minimum wage of Rs 26,000 and old pension scheme, according to union leaders. The general strike is expected to disrupt services in sectors like banking, insurance, postal, coal mining, highway and construction, a trade union official said. The Central Trade Unions such as CITU, INTUC and AITUC are pressing for doing away with the four labour codes, contractualisation, and privatisation of PSUs, increasing minimum wages to Rs 26,000 per month, as well as the demands of farmer organisations for Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops based on Swaminathan Commission's formula of C2 plus 50 per cent and loan waiver. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo Sectoral organisations such as the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) and NREGA Sangharsh Morcha have extended their support to the nationwide strike. RSS-aligned Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), however, will not participate in the general strike, calling it a politically-motivated protest. Live Events A R Sindhu, National Secretary of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) said around 25 crore workers, including workers in organised and unorganised sectors, are likely to take part in the general strike. "Protests will be held in industrial areas, services like banking, postal services, and public sector companies are likely to be closed," Sindhu told PTI. "Not all unorganised sector workers may be able to join the protest, but they will also be mobilised, and roadblocks and 'rail roko' (stopping railways) would also be done," she said. Sindhu said workers in the country are facing a grave situation. "In Delhi, how many workers earn over Rs 10,000 in a month? Even in the public sector, over 70 per cent of employees are contractual," she said. "Casualisation and unemployment are high. Farming is not viable anymore, so the poor people are forced to come to the cities to work. Wages have also been falling in real terms," she said. "Workers are not being criminalised for organising... Right to unionise is the basis of democracy," she said. She also called the strike another step forward in consolidating the emerging unity of workers and farmers. "We had joint action during the Farmers' Protests as well, this will be further consolidation of workers and farmers for future action," she said. Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), which had led the 2020-21 farmers' protests, will hold protest rallies at the tehsil level across India on July 9 independently as well as in coordination with the trade unions and agricultural workers unions. SKM has urged farmers to intensify the struggle on demands, including enacting a law for MSP at C2 plus 50 per cent, with guaranteed procurement for all crops, comprehensive loan waiver to free the peasantry from the debt trap and end rampant peasant suicides across India, withdrawal of National Policy Framework on Agriculture Marketing. The SKM has also opposed bilateral and free trade agreements hurting agriculture, industry and services, privatisation of electricity, and "indiscriminate acquisition of land violating the Land Acquisition Act 2013. The NREGA Sangharsh Morcha has called for MGNREGA workers across the length and breadth of the country to participate in the general strike. Their demands include wages of Rs. 800 per day, resumption of MGNREGA in West Bengal, scrapping NMMS and ABPS, among other things. This is the 22nd General Strike since the advent of neo-liberal policies in India in 1991, as per the unions. The general strike was initially called for May 20 but was rescheduled following the Pahalgam terror strike and subsequent Operation Sindoor. The ten trade unions are INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA, AICCTU, LPF and UTUC. A forum of 10 trade unions has given a 17-point charter of demand. It includes withdrawal of fixed-term employment and scrapping of Agnipath scheme, 8-hour workday, restoration of non-contributory Old Pension Scheme and a minimum monthly penion of Rs 9,000 for the EPFO subscribers, among others. The forum has alleged that the economic policies are resulting into more unemployment, rising prices of essential commodities, depression in wages, cut in social sector spending in education, health, basic civic amenities, and all these are leading to more inequalities and miseries for poor, people of lower income group as well as the middle class. The four labour codes that have been passed by the Parliament are meant to suppress and cripple the trade union movement, increase working hours, snatch workers' right to collective bargaining, right to strike, and decriminalise violation of labour laws by employers, the forum has stated. They also demand implementation of the recommendation of Indian Labour Conference to give worker status to scheme workers-Anganwadi, Asha and Midday meal, Asha Kiran etc and ESIC coverage to them. The charter also suggests that here is an urgent need to form a Climate Resilience Fund to cover the risks and damages caused due to extreme climate conditions including heat wave, floods, cyclones, unseasonal rains and so on. Besides, unions have demanded for immediate halt to the privatisation of Indian Railways, road transport, coal mines and other non-coal mines, Port and Dock, Defence, Electricity, Postal, Telecom, Banks and Insurance sector etc. PTI

Penalty of Rs 10,000 for littering, up to Rs 6,000 for unauthorised vending in UT administrator's proposal to improve sanitation in mandis
To improve sanitation and regulate vending practices in city markets, the Chandigarh Marketing Committee has made a proposal to impose strict penalties for littering and encroachments at the Sector 26 grain, vegetable, and fruit mandi, as well as in the Apni Mandis across the city. A fine of Rs 10,000 is likely to be levied for littering in these markets, while other violations related to sanitation, unauthorised vending, and improper waste disposal could attract penalties of up to Rs 6,000. A senior UT official confirmed that a detailed proposal has been prepared and the enforcement of these penalties is expected soon. The move comes amid growing concerns over unhygienic conditions, rampant encroachments, and a lack of compliance with cleanliness regulations in and around the mandis. To address the chronic problem of unauthorised vending, the administration has also decided that only vendors registered with the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation will be permitted to operate — and that too, strictly within designated vending zones. This is part of a broader initiative that includes amendments to the Punjab Market Committee Bye-laws, 1963, now officially applicable to the Union Territory of Chandigarh. The amended byelaws also define a vendor more precisely and empower authorities to take stringent action against violators. A first-time offender will be fined Rs 1,500, a second-time offender Rs 2,500, and upon a third violation, their goods will be seized without the right to reclaim. Additionally, the revised rules make it mandatory for both commission agents and vendors to maintain cleanliness in and around their work areas, including auction platforms. They are now required to follow the provisions of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. Every street vendor must also keep containers to collect waste such as leftover food, vegetable peels, packaging materials, and disposable items, and ensure proper disposal at notified waste collection points designated by the market committee, an official said. These amendments will also be applicable to the newly proposed mandi in Sector 39, and aim to bring uniform regulation and enforcement across all market zones in Chandigarh.
