Public sector lender Punjab National Bank (PNB) has recently revised its interest rates on domestic and NRI Saving Accounts, which came into force on September 1, 2021. PNB has reduced the interest rate by ten basis points (bps). This means the applicable interest rate now stands at 2.90% annually, which applies to both existing and new savings account holders.
For deposits below Rs 100 crore, the revised interest rate is 2.9%, lower by 0.10% from 3%. The same interest rate remains the same for deposits of Rs 100 crore and beyond.
PNB offers a wide variety of savings accounts for its customers like Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account, PNB Unnati Saving Fund Account, PNB Saving Account Product for Premium Customers, PNB Junior SF Account, among many.

PNB is now offering an interest rate between 2.9% and 5.25% on FDs, maturing within 7 days to 10 years.
