How upward revision in FD rates can profit you?
Though it is a time when interest rates are constantly falling, ideally you shouldn't be making an FD investment. Nevertheless if FDs interests you as a safe instrument, make a better choice in respect of the return as to which maturity term fetches you higher returns. Alternatively, without compromising on the standing and overall worthiness of the bank, you can also look for FD offerings by new banks with higher rate of interest.
