Latest FD rates in India: Fixed deposits, an investment option offered by banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), are generally considered a reliable investment option for savings. This is a risk-free investment that also offers guaranteed interest rates. All you need to do is invest a lump sum in your preferred bank for a fixed period. However, it is important to compare interest rates before investing, as different banks offer different interest rates.
In this write-up, we will compare the FD interest rates for a 5-year tenure offered by prominent institutions such as SBI, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, PNB, and the Post Office. Additionally, we will calculate the maturity amounts for both general customers and senior citizens for Rs 13 lakh investment.
It should be noted that apart from guaranteed interest rates, people can also save up to Rs 1.5 lakh annually by investing in 5-year FDs under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
