With this, the repo rate has been reduced by 1.25 percent this year.

While loan EMIs have become cheaper after this cut, fixed deposit returns have come under pressure.

Many banks have reduced FD interest rates.

However, Bank of Baroda has not announced any FD rate cut yet.

This means customers can still lock in attractive and guaranteed returns on their savings.
