"Our interest rate is appropriately revised. We don't have any immediate agenda to reduce it (deposit rates)," Union Bank of India Chairman and Managing Director M V Nair told reporters on the sidelines of the India Economic Summit.

State Bank of India has reduced deposit rates on various maturities by 25-50 basis points, effective from.

With this, fixed deposits for 1 year to less than 2 years, 2-3 years and 3-5 years will attract interest of 6 per cent (6.25 per cent), 6.5 per cent (6.75 per cent) and 6.5 per cent (7 per cent), respectively.

Nair said, credit offtake is 16 per cent and the bank expects to end the year with 18 per cent.

Speaking about Net Interest Margin (NIM), he said, "I have given a projection that in this quarter it would go to 2.60 per cent, currently 2.45 per cent and for the whole year it would be between 2.55 to 2.60 per cent.
