  "account": "HDFC Bank has raised fixed deposit interest rates for senior citizens on certain tenure buckets. The bank increased rates by 10 basis points (bps) for deposits under Rs 3 crore, effective from August 19, 2026. Previously, senior citizens received a 7% interest rate on a 3-year 1 day to 4 years 7 months tenure, but the new rate is 7.10%. Other tenure buckets have either remained unchanged or decreased slightly.\n\nFederal Bank has also revised its fixed deposit rates, with senior citizens now receiving up to 7.20% interest on a 48-month tenure. The new rates will be available from August 17, 2026. Regular citizens will continue to receive FD interest rates ranging from 2.75% to 6.50%.",
