Interest is taxed at your slab rate, so this assumes the top slab plus 4% cess. At a lower slab you keep more. TDS applies once interest crosses the annual threshold.

What moves this rate
Small finance bank. Deposit rates are typically the highest available, but DICGC insurance covers ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank — size the deposit accordingly.
Deposit interest is taxed at your slab rate, not concessionally. A headline rate is therefore a gross figure — at the 30% slab plus 4% cess, roughly a third of it goes in tax, and TDS is deducted at source once interest crosses the threshold.
Deposit insurance matters more than the last few basis points. DICGC cover is ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank, principal and interest combined, so a deposit above that at a single bank is uninsured beyond the cap regardless of how good the rate looks.
