These are announced rates, not quotes. A bank prices a fixed deposit by how much you deposit and by whether you are a person or a company, so a range means the bottom is usually the ordinary retail deposit and the top usually needs crores or a named scheme. Interest is taxed at source at 10% if the bank holds your TIN and 15% if it does not, and deposit protection covers ৳2,00,000 per depositor per bank.
