PSU banks like State Bank of India (SBI), Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda (BoB), Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Central Bank of India, Bank of India, and Punjab National Bank (PNB) provide special fixed deposit (FD) schemes to general and senior citizens. The tenure of these FDs varies from bank to bank, and these are limited-period schemes. The best thing about FD is that you get the same interest rate till the time of maturity as at the time of deposit. This means market fluctuation does not impact FD interest rates.
This article talks about SBI and Indian Bank’s 444-day special FD. We will compare their interest rates for general and senior citizens, and also see the maturity of Rs 2 lakh, Rs 3 lakh, Rs 4 lakh, and Rs 5 lakh investments.
