    Hello Raviraj,
    It seems that Bharat bank in your list is a cooperative bank while others are not cooperative banks.
    I feel cooperative banks are not directly comparable with other banks as they are perceived to be risky.

    Also, you have not included Deutsche bank – a foreign bank with HIGHEST INTEREST RATE in your list.

    Thanks!
