Shriram Finance Limited (SFL), the flagship entity of the Shriram Group, has announced a downward revision in its Fixed Deposit (FD) interest rates effective from May 6, 2026.
The adjustment follows a significant milestone for the company: the upgrade of its long-term credit ratings to AAA (Stable) by all major agencies, including CRISIL, ICRA, India Ratings, and CARE. This "Triple-A" status represents the highest level of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations, often allowing top-tier NBFCs to optimize their cost of funds.
Revised FD Interest Rates (Deposits up to ₹10 Crore)
The new rate structure reflects a reduction across all tenors, with the most significant cuts occurring in longer-term deposits.
Short-Term (12 Months): Rates will move from 7.00% to 6.75%.
Digital Exclusive (15 Months): The special digital-only tenor will offer 7.05%, down from 7.25%.
Medium-Term (18-35 Months): Rates will range between 7.00% and 7.05%.
Long-Term (36-60 Months): The premium rate for long-term lock-ins has been revised from 7.60% to 7.25%.
