Amid market volatility, fixed deposits (FDs) remain a good option for investors. The country’s banking sector is offering good interest rates on FDs in June 2026. Some banks are offering their customers up to 8.10 per cebt annual interest on FDs. Therefore, it is important to check interest rates across different banks before making a final decision on your fixed deposit. SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and PNB are among the most preferred banks by investors for fixed deposits. However, many private and small finance banks are offering more attractive interest rates than the major banks.
