Our take

For most risk-averse investors in India, FDs are the most prominent investment instruments and thus widely considered. Investors favour FDs because they have stable and assured returns and assist in the formation of a secured wealth. Particularly in the case of FDs, diverse FD schemes are provided by banks and NBFCs. Although the NBFCs' FD schemes deliver higher returns compared to bank FDs, Shriram City Union Finance provides among its counterparts the highest interest rates with an acceptable rating.
