Fixed Deposit Interest Rates: Here's What Key Banks Offer

Fixed deposits (FDs) are secure financial instruments, which offer guaranteed returns. In a fixed deposit account, money is deposited for a specific time, which varies from seven days to 10 years. Regular savings accounts offer modest returns between 3-4 per cent usually. Fixed deposits, however, offer much higher interest rates than savings accounts. The fixed deposit accounts which have a lock-in period of five or 10 years also offer income tax benefit under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act..Here is a comparison of interest rates offered by State Bank of India (SBI), Canara Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank on fixed deposits up to Rs. 1 crore:.State Bank of India (SBI).The following FD interest rates are applicable on deposits below Rs 1 crore, according to the bank's website - sbi.co.in:. table { border-top: solid 1px #ccc; border-left: solid 1px #ccc; border-right: solid 1px #ccc; font-size: 16px; } table th { background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 5px 10px; border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc; border-right: solid 1px #ccc; } table td { border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc; border-right: solid 1px #ccc; padding: 5px 10px; line-height:20px; } table td:last-child, table th:last-child { border-right: none; } /*Media Query start*/ @media only screen and (max-width: 760px), (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) { /* Force table to not be like tables anymore */ table, thead, tbody, th, td, tr { font-size:14px; } } /* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */ @media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px) { body { padding: 0; margin: 0; } table, thead, tbody, th, td, tr { font-size:14px; } table th {padding:4px;} table td {padding:4px;} } /* iPads (portrait and landscape) ----------- */ @media only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) { body { width: 495px; } } /*Media Query END*/ .
