Top 5 Private Sector Banks Offering Up To 7% Returns On 3-Year FDs To Senior Citizens

A fixed-income investment should be a portfolio of senior citizens if they want a steady stream of income from their investment throughout their retirement life. Fixed income instruments, which are not influenced by market-based returns, are the safest investment vehicle for investors such as senior citizens having low-risk tolerance and short to long-term personal financial goals. As a result, they should invest in fixed deposits in order to get higher and fixed returns than non-senior citizens. Apart from a range of tenures spanning from seven days to ten years, older persons who wish to make deposits for three years and want assured returns should look at the below listed top five private sector banks offering returns of more than 6% on three-year FDs with a promise of deposit insurance of up to Rs 5 lakhs provided by the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC).
