Mumbai: Country's largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) on Monday said it will reduce interest paid on all term deposits from August 1.
The lending major said that in accordance to the falling interest rate scenario and surplus liquidity, it will realign its interest rate on "Retail Term Deposits (less than Rs 2 crore) and Bulk Term Deposits (Rs 2 crore and above)".
