Fixed Deposit (FD) Interest Rates: Here's What Public And Private Sector Banks Pay
Fixed deposit (FD) accounts offer higher returns as compared to savings accounts. FDs require investors to make a lump-sum investment for a pre-specified tenure and enable them to earn a fixed interest rate until that given period. Customers can avail fixed deposits from a minimum of seven days to 10 years. Interest payout frequencies that a customer can choose with fixed deposits are monthly, quarterly or at maturity. Most leading banks today, from public sector State Bank of India (SBI) to private sector peers HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, offer an interest rate ranging from 3.50 per cent to 7.90 per cent for a tenure of one year, according to an analysis of interest rates displayed on their websites.
