Fixed Deposit Interest Rates: SBI Vs Post Offices
Fixed deposit (FD) accounts offered by banks and post offices offer lucrative interest rates. The interest rates are fixed until a given maturity period. The interest rates on fixed deposits do not change and thus the customer knows at the time of applying for a fixed deposit, the returns that he/she will make on his/her FD investment. Leading banks as well as post offices offer the option of opening fixed deposit accounts. The largest lender of the country State Bank of India (SBI) also offers this option.
