Latest FD Interest Rates: What SBI, PNB, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and other banks are offering in 3-year fixed deposit schemes
Latest FD Rates: Fixed Deposits, commonly known as FDs, are a popular investment choice for those seeking safe, predictable returns. With FDs, you invest a lump sum amount for a specific period of time with a bank. The amount earns interest at a fixed rate, which is set by the bank at the time of account opening.
If you're planning to park your money in a 3-year FD, several banks offer competitive interest rates. Some of the leading options include State Bank of India (SBI), Bank of Baroda (BOB), Punjab National Bank (PNB), HDFC Bank, Canara Bank, and more. These banks provide different interest rates, depending on whether you are a regular investor or a senior citizen.
