5 Leading Banks That Offer Higher Interest Rates On Retail FDs

|

FDs are investment vehicles provided by banks and NBFCs (non-banking financial companies) that only offer higher interest rates across varying tenures for investors than standard savings accounts. Based on their tenure, amount, and type of depositor, FD interest rates vary from bank to bank. Senior citizens aged 60 years old enjoy additional interest rates on their fixed deposits, often 0.5% higher than the general public. Before investing, it is also often important to compare them. Below are the current interest rates provided by SBI, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, HDFC Bank, and Canara Bank for deposits below Rs 2 crore and tenure ranging from 7 days to 10 years respectively.
