NEW DELHI — April 20, 2025: After the closure of its popular ‘Amrit Kalash FD’ on April 1, the State Bank of India (SBI) has introduced a brand-new fixed deposit scheme titled ‘Amrit Vrishti FD’ — offering attractive interest rates for a limited tenure of 444 days. With returns reaching up to 7.75% per annum, this new plan has quickly caught the attention of both retail and senior citizen investors.
This strategic launch comes ahead of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, a time when many banks are adjusting interest rates or discontinuing special term deposit products.
