Public sector lender Jammu and Kashmir Bank (J&K Bank) has lowered the interest rate on its savings bank accounts by 0.50 per cent to 3.50 per cent with effect from today, following the industry trend.
“The bank has revised the interest rate on savings bank deposit accounts with effect from September 12, 2017. The revised interest rate on domestic/NRO/NRE rupee savings bank deposits is revised to 3.5 per cent per annum from 4 per cent per annum,” the bank said in a regulatory filing.
The interest rate cut primarily began with industry leader SBI slashing it 0.50 per cent to 3.50 pr cent for deposits up to Rs 1 crore on July 31 this year.
So far, nearly two-dozen banks, both public and private, have cut interest rates on various quantums on deposits they pay to customers.
Shares of J&K Bank traded 2.7 per cent up at Rs 81.70 on BSE.
