Here Are Fixed Deposit (FD) Interest Rates Paid By Top Banks
Major commercial banks today offer a variety of maturity options and interest rates in fixed deposit accounts. In a fixed deposit account, the money is deposited for a specific period of time, known as maturity or lock-in. This term ranges from seven days to ten years. Some fixed deposits come with a premature withdrawal facility while others require a compulsory lock-in period. Banks often pay higher interest rates on fixed deposits to senior citizens compared with the general public.Â
Given below is a comparison of fixed deposit (FD) interest rates paid by SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Punjab National Bank (PNB) on deposits up to Rs 2 crore:
