Last month, SBI had increased interest rates on fixed deposits following two successive repo rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in May and June. The RBI had raised the repo rate by 0.50 per cent following its monetary policy meeting on June 8, taking the overall increase to 0.9 per cent less than two months to control spiralling inflation.
Earlier this month, SBI had frozen many bank accounts of customers for non-compliance with KYC (Know Your Customer) norms.
