Penalty on premature withdrawal of bulk deposit
These new rates will be applicable on all new deposits as well as renewal of existing deposits on maturity. According to the bank, there has been no change in the other terms and conditions related to both retail and bulk term deposits.
Penalties will continue to be imposed on investors who want to withdraw money prematurely. SBI has retained the penalty of 1 percent on bulk deposits of all tenures. This means that for premature withdrawal of money, the interest rate applicable will be reduced by one percent.
