Indian Bank and Punjab & Sind Bank have extended the deadline for their special fixed deposit schemes until June 30, 2025

These 2 banks extend special FD schemes but are interest rates same or lower? Indian Bank maintains its interest rates, while Punjab & Sind Bank reduces rates and discontinues certain tenures for specific FD tenures

As the March 31, 2025, deadline has passed, most banks have discontinued their special fixed deposit (FD) schemes that offered higher-than-usual returns. However, do not be disheartened; Indian Bank and Punjab & Sind Bank have extended their limited-time FD offers, providing depositors more time to lock in attractive interest rates up to 8.05%. While Indian Bank has retained its existing special FD rates, Punjab & Sind Bank has reduced interest rates on select FDs and discontinued certain special FD tenures. The new deadline for these special FDs is June 30, 2025.
