Know how much interest you will get
At present, customers get an interest of 5.10 percent on FDs opened in State Bank of India for 12 months to 24 months. At the same time, if you make an FD for three to five years, then the interest rate on FD will be 5.45 percent.
Will have to pay more EMI
After increasing the repo rate, banks have also started increasing the interest rates of their loans. The EMI of the loan of the customers will also become expensive. Due to increase in repo rate, the loan becomes expensive, because banks also increase their MCLR rate. The loan becomes expensive when the MCLR rate increases. The RBI, while issuing the credit policy on Wednesday, June 8, increased the repo rate by half a percentage. Along with this, RBI had also indicated to gradually reduce cash from the system. After the policy, SBI had said that now the EMI is going to increase soon.
