The rate cut has come a week after the Reserve Bank's quarterly review of the annual monetary policy, in which key policy rates were left unchanged.

With reduction, interest rate for deposits having maturity in between 46 days and 90 days has been reduced to 4 per cent against 4.5 per cent earlier, it said.

At the same time, term deposit in between 180 days to 269 days earns interest rate of 6 per cent compared to 6.25 per cent, it added.
