For those who want a guaranteed income with little to no risk, bank fixed deposits (FDs) are the most widely used and attractive investment destination looking at the current interest rates. Due to higher FD rates, FDs have recently become more appealing to debt investors in current times. Banks have been adjusting their interest rates on FDs since May 2022 in response to the Reserve Bank of India's repeated increases in the repo rate. Following the Repo rate hike, three leading private sector banks namely Axis Bank, IndusInd Bank, and Yes Bank have announced new FD rates for their various schemes. Here's a close look:

Axis Bank
The bank has increased the interest rates of Fixed Deposits (FDs) on March 10, 2023, to below Rs 2 Crore. According to the current FD rates, the bank offers a minimum 3.50 per cent and a maximum 7.26 per cent to general customers, and minimum 3.50 per cent and maximum 8.01% to senior citizens. The rates are effective on the deposit period from 7 days to 10 years on deposits below Rs 2 crore.
