CB sets maximum deposit rates for senior citizens’ deposits in finance companies
It said that the Licensed Finance Companies may pay an additional interest rate of 2% above the maximum interest rates stipulated by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka for any savings deposit accepted or maintained and time deposit accepted from or renewed by a person who is over 55 years of age with effect from 1 January.
Accordingly, the maximum deposit interest rates that could be offered by Licensed Finance Companies to a person who is over 55 years of age is as follows:
a. Savings deposits accepted or maintained shall be 9.58% per annum.
b. Time deposits accepted or renewed shall be as follows,
i. For maturity period of one year or less – 13.01% per annum.
ii. For maturity period of over one year and up to three years – 14.01% per annum.

Re: CB sets maximum deposit rates for senior citizens’ deposits in finance companies
- Another blow for senior citizens dependent on interest income
- Sri Lanka’s Central bank to provide 12 pct interest scheme for senior citizens
- Fitch Rates National Savings Bank's Senior Notes 'BB-(EXP)'
- Fitch rates National Development Bank's senior debentures 'AA-(lka)(EXP)'
- CB likely to raise interest cap on finance company deposits
