1. There is good news for depositors. Many banks have increased returns on fixed deposits and, according to economists, rates are set on rise even further as growth in fixed deposits at 5% in FY18 has been less than half the growth in loans. 2. Close on the heel of SBI which has increased the deposit rates last week, the second largest private lender HDFC Bank has also followed suit with a hike of up to 60 basis points (100bps = 1 percentage point). Going by growth in credit demand and shrinking liquidity, more banks are expected to raise rates. 3. HDFC Bank’s rate revision comes less than a week after the RBI hike policy rates by 25bps in its August 1 policy review. PNB, Axis Bank and Dena Bank have also increased their rates this month. 4. According to a report by ratings agency Care, lending rates have traditionally grown fast than interest on deposits in a rising rate regime. Care chief economist Madan Sabnavis said in a report, “However, in the last two rate hikes, the quantum of transmission of the deposit rates is more than the lending rates. Consider the increase in interest rates of June 6 when the RBI increased the repo rate by 25bps to25%. 5.From the date of announcement of the rate hike till the next monetary policy meeting, the deposit rates have increased on an average by 13bps, during the MCLR rate has increased by 5bps.” The MCLR, or marginal cost of lending rate, is the benchmark for all floating rate loans.
