Deposits at Jio Payments Bank (JPB) and transaction processing volumes in its payments solutions business have seen significant growth, underlining the scale-up of these operations, MD and CEO Hitesh Sethia said at the company's annual general meeting on Thursday.

Overnight MFs are considered the safest scheme as they invest in short-term instruments like overnight repo and government securities with a one-day maturity. As per the JPB website, savings deposits currently earn 2.5% interest, while overnight MFs usually yield around the Reserve Bank of India's repo rate. The repo rate now stands at 5.5%.
