Options:
A .  Union Finance Commission
B .  Finance Minister of India
C .  Indian Bank Association
D .  Reserve Bank of India
E .  None of These
Answer: Option E
Answer: (e)
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), on 25 October 2011, deregulated savings bank deposit interest rates, leaving it to the banks to select their own interest rates.
However, each bank will have to offer a uniform interest rate on savings bank deposits up to Rs.1 lakh, irrespective of the amount in the account within this limit.
Besides, for savings bank deposits over Rs.1 lakh, a bank may provide differential rates of interest, if it so chooses.
