SBI chairman says depositors may not see quick rate gains
In short
SBI Chairman CS Setty said depositors may not get a quick benefit from a rate hike. He added that banks may have to lift deposit rates later if credit growth stays strong.
This matters for savers and banks because higher deposit rates could come later, but no timing or size was given in the reporting.
