Speaking about the launch, Ms. Roopa Satish, Head - CSR and Sustainable Banking, IndusInd Bank said, âAt IndusInd Bank, sustainable banking has always been a critical area of focus. We are the only bank in India to secure âband Aâ in the Carbon Disclosure Project and we have maintained our leadership capability over the last 5 years. We are now delighted to bring forth Green deposits that provide our customers with an opportunity to contribute towards building a cleaner and better society. We encourage both corporate and retail depositors to avail this opportunity. The interest on Green deposit remains attractive with an additional benefit of 50 basis point for senior citizens. In all ways, it is similar to a regular bank deposit but in addition, depositors will be issued a âGreenâ certificate as well as an âAssuranceâ certificate confirming the end use of deposit proceeds at the end of the financial year.â
