Private lender ICICI Bank on Wednesday raised interest rates on term deposits of less than Rs 1 crore by 10-25 basis points (bps), effective from November 15.

The bank said in a statement that the rate hike is applicable across various maturities of domestic term deposits and also on Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) and Non-Resident External (NRE) term deposits.

"With this increase, the bank offers a pique interest rate of 7.50 per cent on term-deposits with a maturity of above two years up to three years," the statement said.
