It also lowered rates more on long-tenure deposits, perhaps indicating both the receivable time-lines of Bajaj Finance's assets and stiffer competition for shorter-tenure commitments in a falling rate cycle. This is the second such reduction by Bajaj Finance.

Mumbai: Bajaj Finance on Monday followed top banks in lowering deposit rates on certain tenures to reflect easing policy rates. "These rate cuts are a part of monetary policy transmission, and other large NBFCs will follow soon," says VijayKuppa, CEO, Incred Money. Rates are now up to 50 basis points, or half a percentage point lower, in line with the reduction in policy rates since February.
