Bank of India: There is a big news for bank customers. Bank of India has given a big relief to its Fixed Deposit (FD) customers. The bank has changed the interest rates on medium and long term FDs of less than Rs 3 crore. The new rates have come into effect from today, 18 May 2026. The special thing is that FDs of 1 year to 3 years will now get higher interest than before. According to the new rates, FDs of less than 1 year and up to 2 years will now get 6.50% interest. Whereas FDs of less than 2 years and up to 3 years will get 6.60% interest and FDs of exactly 3 years will get 6.70% annual interest.

The bank has also continued the extra interest benefit for senior and super senior citizens. Senior citizens will receive an extra 0.50% interest rate, and super senior citizens an extra 0.65% interest rate on FDs between 6 months and 3 years. Senior citizens will receive an extra 0.75% interest rate, and super senior citizens an extra 0.90% interest rate on FDs longer than 3 years.

Additionally, the bank is offering an additional 0.15% interest on non-callable FDs above Rs 1 crore. Non-callable FDs cannot be withdrawn prematurely. A charge is levied if you do so. However, loans against FDs and premature withdrawals are only available for callable deposits.

Customers can secure FDs via bank branches, the BOI Omni Neo mobile app, and online banking. This choice may be advantageous for investors looking for secure investments that yield better returns.
