With 8.25% Interest This Is The Best Monthly Income Plan

Retired individuals and those depending on monthly income have seen their income fall dramatically as interest rates have virtually collapsed. It is extremely difficult to get more than 4 to 5 per cent interest on monthly income deposits. However, here is a government deposit that offers 8.25 per cent interest annually where the interest is paid on a monthly basis.

8.25% From TN Power Finance and Infrastructure

The Tamil Nadu government owned TN Power Finance and Infrastructure is offering an annual interest rate of up to 8.25 per cent on deposits, where the interest is paid every month. This is a fantastic rate of interest and you are unlikely to fine an institution that matches these rates.

One can go for the quarterly interest rate plan as well where the amount of interest payable is 8.51 per cent per year.
