State Bank of India Wecare Policy : Deposit Scheme for Senior Citizens
The country’s largest banker, State Bank of India (SBI), announced a special fixed deposit scheme for senior citizens called, SBI ‘WECARE’ Senior Citizens’ Term Deposit scheme. The scheme has been made available for investment from 12 May 2020.
According to the bank, the scheme has been launched to provide a higher interest rate to senior citizens in the current falling interest rate scenario as this category of investors are usually dependent on interest income. The launch of this scheme comes in the wake of several banks cutting interest rates on fixed deposits and savings bank accounts due to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cutting repo rate and reverse repo rate.
