Latest SBI FD Rates for Senior Citizens 2026
SBI continues to offer higher FD returns to senior citizens in 2026, and the SBI We-care scheme remains an additional booster for long tenures.
If you are 60 years or above, SBI generally offers a 0.50% higher FD interest rate than what is available to regular customers on most retail domestic term deposits. For super senior citizens (80+), SBI Patrons can add a further 0.10% benefit on eligible tenors, giving older investors an extra cushion over standard rates.
If you choose to invest for 5 to 10 years, you may be eligible for the SBI We-care deposit scheme, which provides an additional 0.50% premium over and above the senior citizen FD rate for that tenure. For example, as per the latest SBI card, the regular 5–10 year FD rate is 6.05% p.a., the senior citizen rate is 6.55% p.a. (0.50% extra), and under SBI We-care, the effective rate becomes 7.05% p.a. This means senior citizens earn a total benefit of 1.00% p.a. over the rate offered to general customers on 5–10 year deposits under the We-care scheme.

Some Other SBI FD Schemes
In addition to the Retail Domestic Term Deposit and Non-Callable FD schemes, SBI also offers Amrit Vrishti and Green Rupee Term Deposit schemes. The interest rates for these special FDs are different from regular FD rates.
Let’s take a closer look at each of these schemes in detail:
1. Amrit Vrishti Scheme
The Amrit Vrishti Scheme is a special fixed deposit offered by SBI with a specific term of 444 days. It was earlier paying 6.85%, but from June 15, 2025, the rate has been reduced to 6.60% for the general public. Senior citizens are eligible for an additional benefit of 0.50% p.a. on top of this rate.
2. SBI Green Rupee Term Deposit
The SBI Green Rupee Term Deposit is another special scheme introduced to encourage eco-conscious investing. It is available for unique fixed terms of:
- 1111 days
- 1777 days
- 2222 days
However, the interest rate offered is 0.10% lower than the regular card rate for the same tenure.
Key Features of SBI Fixed Deposit Rates
SBI provides an additional bonus to super senior citizens, which is on top of the premium offered to senior citizens. However, these benefits are not universal, and certain deposit schemes do not offer the extra percentage.
Let’s understand in detail:
1. Extra Benefit for Super Senior Citizens (80+)
SBI recognises the needs of its oldest customers! Those aged 80 years and above are eligible for an additional 0.10% interest over the rate applicable to senior citizens. This takes their total bonus rate to 0.60% p.a. (0.50% + 0.10%). To calculate their returns, super senior citizens can add the bonus 0.60% rate to the regular FD rate card.
However, for the SBI We-care deposit scheme, their total bonus rate is 1.10% p.a. [6.05% (regular rate) + 0.50% (senior citizen benefit) + 0.50% (SBI We-care scheme benefit) + 0.10% (super senior citizen benefit)]. The interest rate they can get under this scheme is 7.15% p.a. for a tenure of 5-10 years.
2. Schemes Where These Benefits Don’t Apply
The additional interest benefits given to senior and super senior citizens are not available across all deposit schemes. They are excluded from:
- Recurring Deposits
- The Green Rupee Term Deposit
- The Tax Savings Scheme 2006
- The MODS (Multi-Option Deposit Scheme)
- The Capgain Scheme
FD investors in these products will receive only the standard card rate, without any extra percentage.
