Top 4 Private Sector Banks Promising Interest Up To 7% On 5 Year Fixed Deposits

|

When it comes to seeking tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, guaranteed returns, deposit safety provided by DICGC, long-term deposits of 5 years, and so on, investing in a tax-saving fixed deposit is a good choice of investment vehicle under the debt category. Apart from the assured returns and deposit safety, here we are talking about tax-saving fixed deposits which means that you will have to make a lock-in of your deposits for 5 years or up to 5 years and hence you can not make a premature withdrawal which is the only key consideration which investors especially senior citizens need to keep in mind.

 

Under a single PAN, a depositor can park a maximum amount of up to Rs 1.5 lakhs in tax-saving fixed deposits that can be Domestic/NRO but not NRE Fixed Deposits. Senior citizens aged 60 and above who are resident Indians are also entitled for an additional interest rate of 0.5 percent per annum on tax-saving fixed deposits. Concerning interest rates, we have selected the top four private sector banks in India based on our own analysis, that are presently offering the best and highest interest rates on tax-saving fixed deposits in the market.

Note: The interest rates on 5 Year fixed deposits are marked in bold.
