jaspreet1991

While most banks' interest rates on savings bank accounts have fallen to record lows, State Bank of India, the country's largest lender, offers customers who maintain a higher balance in their savings account the opportunity to earn a higher rate of interest than a standard savings account. Customers of SBI are currently earning 2.70 percent on their savings account balances.


Savings Plus Account is a special savings account offered by SBI that enables savers to earn a higher rate of interest on their savings account balance. The SBI Savings Plus Account is linked to the Multi Option Deposit Scheme (MODS), under which surplus funds from the savings bank account are automatically transferred to term deposits in multiples of Rs 1000. According to information available on SBI's official website — sbi.co.in — the term of this term deposit is between one and five years. Additionally, one can obtain a loan against these fixed deposits.


SBI Savings Plus Account operates similarly to a flexi fixed deposit account in that excess balance in the savings account is transferred to the fixed deposit, which earns a higher rate of interest than the standard savings account. If the balance in the savings account falls below the threshold, the balance in the fixed deposit is used to cover the shortfall.
