"We will take a call on around 50 basis points cut in deposit rates tomorrow at our Assets and Liabilities Committee (Alco) meet," Oriental Bank Executive Director S C Sinha said today.
At present, the bank offers an interest rate of 8.25 per cent on one-year deposits of up to Rs 1 crore and 7.50 per cent for deposits above Rs 1 crore.
The bank had earlier cut its prime lending rate by 50 basis points.
