Vishal Shukla December 22, 2023

Before the festive season, Bank of Baroda has great news for its customers. Starting from October 9, 2023, the bank has increased interest rates on its fixed deposits (FDs).

Despite the Reserve Bank of India keeping the repo rate unchanged for the fourth time in a row last week, Bank of Baroda is now offering higher returns to FD investors.

Increased FD Interest Rates (BoB FD Rates)

Bank of Baroda has raised the interest rates on FDs below Rs 2 crore by 50 basis points, and these new rates are effective as of October 9.

Existing customers with FDs will benefit from the increased interest, while new customers will receive these rates from the start.

For general customers, Bank of Baroda now offers a maximum return of 7.25% on FDs ranging from 2 to 3 years. Senior citizens are entitled to even higher returns, up to 7.75%.
