SBI 444-day FD vs SBI 400-day FD: Which can give you higher maturities on Rs 2 lakh, 4 lakh, and 6 lakh investments

SBI 444-day FD vs SBI 400-day FD: Fixed Deposits (FDs) provide stable returns with a fixed interest rate, allowing you to invest a lump sum for durations ranging from 7 days to 10 years. Special fixed deposit schemes function similarly to regular term deposits, but banks and small finance banks introduce them for a limited timeframe. Depending on investor demand, banks may extend the investment period for these FDs. These special FDs typically offer higher interest rates than standard fixed deposits.  

A notable example is SBI's Amrit Vrishti and Amrit Kalash schemes, which provide higher interest rates for tenures of 444 days and 400 days, respectively.  

Let's explore these special SBI FDs in detail and compare the returns that general and senior citizens can earn on investments of Rs 2 lakh, Rs 4 lakh, and Rs 6 lakh.
