Investing in fixed deposits is one of the most secure ways to grow your savings. Not only does it help you save money, but it also offers substantial interest earnings. Competitive fixed deposit (FD) interest rates ensure a good return on investment over a fixed tenure. Under the FD scheme, the depositor makes a one-time deposit when opening the account. The interest rates depend on the bank, deposit amount, and the chosen tenure.
