Savings Account Interest Rates: SBI Vs ICICI Bank Vs HDFC Bank Vs Post Offices
Savings accounts help customers park their money safely with banks. Customers do earn an interest income on the account but generally savings bank accounts offer modest interest rates as compared to fixed deposit (FD) accounts. The interest earned is tax-free up to Rs 10,000 per year. Customers also get ATM and debit card facilities on savings bank accounts. Key banks like State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank offer the facility of opening savings bank accounts. Post offices across the country also offer the facility of opening savings accounts.
