IOB raises 444-day fixed deposit rates by up to 15 bps
The Story in Brief
Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) has raised interest rates on its 444-day term deposits by up to 15 basis points, effective 10 November 2026. The rate on callable deposits below ₹3 crore increased from 6.60% to 6.75%, while non-callable deposits of over ₹1 crore rose from 6.75% to 6.85%. NRE term deposits also moved from 6.60% to 6.75%.
Senior citizens aged 60 and above get an additional 0.50 percentage point, and super senior citizens (80 and above) an extra 0.75 percentage point, pushing the callable deposit rate to 7.25% and 7.50% respectively. IOB left rates on all other tenures unchanged, and rates for deposits of ₹3 crore and above are set separately.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both CNBC TV18 and The Hindu Business Line report the same facts: IOB raised its 444-day deposit rates by up to 15 bps effective 10 November. The Hindu Business Line adds the detail that the revision followed a review by the bank’s Asset-Liability Committee, a procedural point CNBC TV18 omits. Each outlet presents the rates in a table or list format that is purely informational. Because the coverage is uniform straight reporting on a routine rate revision, identical figures, dates and tenures, there is no conflicting framing to reconcile. The neutral takeaway is the unchanged rate for other tenures, leaving depositors a narrow window to lock in the 444-day yield before any future revision.
