ICICI Bank, a private sector lender, has raised interest rates on a special term deposit scheme for elderly adults effective 21st May 2022. The bank offers a term deposit scheme for senior citizens called ICICI Bank Golden Years FD, a special fixed deposit scheme in which the bank gives an additional rate of interest and the standard benefit of 0.50 per cent. Previously, the bank offered resident senior citizen customers an additional rate of 0.10 per cent over and above the current rate of 0.50 per cent, bringing the total rate to 6.35 per cent, however, they will now receive an additional interest rate of 0.25 per cent over and above the existing additional rate of 0.50 per cent per annum, amounting to 6.50%.

As a result of the change, elderly residents would now get an interest rate of 6.50 per cent on deposits maturing in 5 years 1 day to 10 years, up from 6.35 per cent before. In the event of a premature withdrawal from the Golden Years FD, ICICI Bank has stated on its website for elderly residents that “In case deposit opened in above scheme is prematurely withdrawn/closed after, on or after 5 years 1 day, the applicable penal rate will be 1.25%. In case the deposit opened in above scheme is prematurely withdrawn/closed before 5 years 1 day, the prevailing premature withdrawal policy will be applicable."
