Company Fixed Deposits that beat Bank Fixed Deposits in terms of interest rates
Here are a few company fixed deposits that beat bank deposits in terms of interest rates. Some of these are highly secured and come with a strong pedigree. However, one should remember that company fixed deposits are not very secure deposits and hence it's always best to seek professional advise before investing. Interest of over Rs 5000, will be subject to TDS. Read how to avoid TDS on fixed deposits here
The best in the category
The pick of the lot in terms of security and returns of all the deposits we have mentioned is Kerala Transport Development Finance Corporation (KTDFC).

For deposits above Rs 25 lakh, the interest rate has been fixed at Rs 10.50 per cent.
Good scope for returns

Strong pedigree
GRUH Finance is a subsidiary of HDFC and hence the deposits are very secure. The 36-59 month cumulative scheme under GRUH Finance fetches an interest rate of 9.5 per cent for individuals. All other tenures fetch an interest rate of between 9 and 9.25 per cent.
