Bank cut Rs 5.89 crore FD rate from 7.75% to 3.5%; Court orders higher interest

Initially, the FD earned interest at rates of 7.75%, 8.25% and 7.75% over different periods.

However, from January 30, 2018, the bank lowered the rate to 3.5%.

Challenging the reduction, the deposit holder approached the court again, arguing that the bank had cut the interest rate without any valid reason or justification.
