The State Bank of India (SBI) account holders who want to earn maximum out of their SBI
savings account can take succour in the SBI savings plus account
The SBI savings plus account allows the customers to earn interest at a higher rate on the money that is lying idle in the savings bank
The minimum amount that one requires in the savings bank account is Rs 35,000 and beyond that a minimum of Rs 10,000 will be transferred to
the multi-option deposit (MOD)
The money is transferred in the multiples of Rs 1,000
For instance, if the SBI savings bank account has 46,300 then the amount that will be transferred to MOD will be 11,000 and not Rs 11,300
(Rs 46,300 - Rs 35,000) because the transfer has to happen in the multiples of Rs 1,000.State Bank of India (SBI) Savings Plus Account

This balance will be maintained for which the reverse sweep will be triggered.What is LIFO This means last in first out
When the customer's balance in savings bank account falls below the minimum account balance (MAB) then some of the money from the savings
plus account is transferred to the savings account so as to maintain the minimum balance
While doing so, some of the term deposits are to be broken involuntarily
However, the bank will make sure that only the last term deposits are broken and not the first ones
This is good for the customer since the last term deposits would have accrued the least interest in comparison to the earlier ones.What is

in the beginning leaving the later deposits intact.HDFC Bank The facility similar to State Bank of India's Savings Plus account in case of
