The move by RBL Bank to increase interest rates on savings accounts is in line with the trend of other banks in the country. The RBI has been increasing the repo rate in recent months to control inflation. This has led to banks increasing their lending rates, which has also put pressure on their margins. To protect their margins, banks are increasing interest rates on savings accounts.

However, it is important to note that the interest rates on savings accounts are still very low. The average interest rate on savings accounts in India is around 3% p.a. This means that the real rate of return on savings accounts is negative, after taking into account inflation.

If you are looking for a better return on your savings, you may want to consider investing in fixed deposits, which offer higher interest rates. However, it is important to compare the interest rates offered by different banks before investing. You should also factor in the lock-in period and other terms and conditions of the fixed deposit before making an investment.
