Hi Megha,

Just was googling around to check if any sites explain the rationale behind higher interest rates by banks for special days tenures. For example ICICI gives higher interest rates on 290,590,990 days,etc.

It would be great if you could help explaining.
BTW your site is quite informative.

Thanks,
Sushil
