Fixed Deposit (FD) Interest Rates Paid By Major Banks On Deposits Below 1 Crores
Bank fixed deposits (FDs) are secure fixed-income instruments which offer guaranteed returns. Unlike stocks and mutual funds, fixed deposits offer assured returns because they are unaffected by market volatility. This makes bank fixed deposits apt for investors who are risk-averse and seek a guaranteed return on their investments. Top lenders such as State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, among others, offer fixed deposits. Customers are required to park their funds until a pre-determined period and then they can earn attractive interest rates on the same.

HDFC Bank and Indian Bank raised their fixed deposit interest rates with effect from November 6.
