Fixed deposit (FD) investments have long been a preferred way for creating wealth since they are not subject to market fluctuations and offer fixed returns in the form of interest rate at maturity. The interest rate on FDs is significantly higher than that on a standard savings account. The lock-in term for an FD account is also known as the maturity period or deposit tenure which implies that you will not be able to withdraw the funds you have placed within this time frame without paying a penalty which will result in low returns at the time of maturity. While investing in fixed deposits one of the most important advantages that you get is an insurance cover of Rs 5 lakhs by DICGC on both the principal amount and interest rate. Before picking an FD, we always recommend that you evaluate the interest rates available. Some leading banks with the highest FD rates for deposits up to Rs 2 crore over various tenures are listed below.

The interest rate on SBI FDs ranges from 2.90 per cent to 5.40 per cent. The deposit period, which can vary from 7 days to 10 years, influences SBI Bank FD rates.
