RBI tightens rules on large size term deposits

25 Jan 2013 Evaluate

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) tightening the rules of offering differential interest rates on large size term deposits, has also allowed  banks to now stop large depositors from premature withdrawal of their money.

As per RBI’s circular on ‘Interest Rates on and Premature Withdrawal of Rupee Term Deposits’, the bank can now charge different rates of interest only on bulk deposits of above Rs 100 million (i.e., Rs 10 crore), higher than previous limit of Rs 1.5 million. Meanwhile, for deposits below Rs 1 crore (10 million rupees), the same rate will be applicable for deposits of the same maturity.

Additionally, RBI has allowed banks to disallow premature withdrawal of deposits of over Rs 1 crore, of all depositors, including deposits of individuals and HUFs. However, bank should notify such depositors of its policy of disallowing premature withdrawal in advance, i.e., at the time of accepting such deposits. Further, banks will have the freedom to determine its own penal interest rates for premature withdrawal of term deposits.
