HDFC Bank sets off deposit rate hikes

29 Jul 2010 Evaluate

Banks have started raising deposit rates in anticipation of a rush to mobilise resources. This move by banks comes in the wake of the Reserve Bank of India hiking key short-term rates on Tuesday. One of the first banks to announce upward revision in deposit rates is HDFC Bank. It hiked deposit rates by 25-75 basis points across most tenors with effect from July 30. Central Bank of India and Lakshmi Vilas Bank also announced deposit rate hikes by 25-50 basis points, from next week on. More banks are likely to follow suit.

 

HDFC Bank would now look at stepping up deposit mobilisation by offering higher rates. The bank has hiked rates by 75 basis points at the shorter end and by 25 basis points for deposits of over one year. Mr O P Bhatt, Chairman, SBI said the bank would hike deposit rates by 25 basis points, at least, by August or September. The bank would first hike deposit rates and then the lending rates.

 

The RBI, in its first quarter review of the monetary policy, hiked the repo and reverse repo rates by 25 and 50 basis points, respectively, to soften persistent inflationary pressures in the economy.
