Additionally, ICICI Bank updated the rates on FDs with a premature withdrawal option starting at 5 crore and upwards. The highest term is 10 years, with a minimum tenure of 7 days.

For terms of three years and a day to ten years, the rate is 6.5 percent. For tenures of one year to less than fifteen months, the bank also offers a rate of 6.75 percent.
