Monthly calculation
Interest is calculated on each day’s end-of-day balance, progressively across the applicable balance slabs: each portion of the balance earns the rate for its slab, rather than the highest slab rate applying to the whole balance. The bank totals the daily interest and credits it monthly. Its formula for an unchanged balance is the sum, for each slab, of amount in that slab × number of days × applicable annual rate ÷ 365. Rates can change; check the bank’s current rate table for the applicable slabs and rates.brand website ↗
