Fixed Deposits (FDs)

Overview

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is one of the safest and most popular investment options where you deposit a lump sum amount with a bank or financial institution for a fixed period at a predetermined interest rate. Unlike market-linked instruments, FDs offer guaranteed returns, making them an ideal choice for risk-averse investors.

They provide flexible tenure options ranging from a few days to several years.Senior citizens  can benefit from higher interest rates for stable income.You can also avail a loan against FD without breaking your deposit.
