Senior citizens prefer the fixed deposit (FD) investment option most because of its low risk and guaranteed return. Moreover, banks offer a higher FD interest rate to senior citizens than to general citizens. They can also choose to receive interest payouts on FD on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. This helps senior citizens plan their retirement financially. In this article, we will compare the State Bank of India (SBI) and Canara Bank FD rates for senior citizens and compare maturity on Rs 3.5 lakh, Rs 4.5 lakh, Rs 5.5 lakh, and Rs 6.5 lakh deposits.
