State Bank of India reported a 10% rise in Q1 net profit to ₹21,121 crore, beating estimates on robust loan growth and higher net interest income. As reported by The Economic Times, the year-on-year increase of 15% in net interest income signifies healthy core earnings from its lending activities. The bank's 10% growth in net profit was driven by robust loan growth that amplified its operating income, with improved asset quality, lower bad-loan provisions and strong credit demand offsetting weaker treasury income and slightly lower margins.
SBI has introduced a tiered interest rate structure for 10-year FDs, offering 6.05% to general citizens and 7.05% to senior citizens.

ICICI Bank maintains its 6.50% interest rate for general citizens on 10-year FDs, while senior citizens receive 7% on the same tenure. The rate differential between SBI and ICICI Bank has narrowed significantly, with SBI's enhanced rates making it more attractive for long-term investors.
