Rep Power: 10 | Your savings account will earn daily interest Your savings bank account can earn you more interest now. The Reserve Bank of India has issued a directive in its policy document that will change the way interest is paid on the minimum amount present in a savings bank account each day. Quote:
Quote:
RBI had received requests to change the present interest payment structure from the banks themselves. In its policy document issued on Tuesday, RBI said that banks had proposed two structures: Either interest should be paid from the first to the last day of each month, or on a daily basis. RBI referred the matter to the Indian Bank's Association, which comprises of private as well as public sector banks, along with co-operative banks and foreign banks. The association decided that calculation of interest should be done on a daily basis as this has become more feasible with banks increasingly adopting core banking solutions (which refers to the use of information technology platforms). Bankers said that, though the new system will amount to higher interest payouts and may even result in a slight rise in the cost of funds, it can be managed. If the customer holds the money in savings account, banks' dependence on fixed deposits will decrease. Bankers also said that this may result in customers keeping higher amount in NRI-related savings accounts. The interest offered on savings bank accounts in India is much higher than what is offered on term deposits in many countries. This means that the money will start earning higher interest even as it remains liquid and safe. Source: Rediff | ||

Rep Power: 9 | The concept goes like this, As per earlier system if u had 25000 in your savings bank from 1st of the month but withdrew 22000 on say 29th of the month as per earlier system u were entitled to interest only on Rs.3000 for the whole month. As per the new system. w.e.f.2010, April 1, u are entitled to interest on Rs.25000 for 28 days and Rs. 3000 for balance 2 days. So would be of real help to the Salary A/c holders.
