SBI Senior Citizen Fixed Deposit Rates 2024: What Rs 2.50 lakh, Rs 5 lakh, and 7.50 lakh, and Rs 10 lakh investments will give you in 1-, 3- and 5-year FDs

SBI Senior Citizen FD Interest Rates: What do you seek financially when you grow old? You need an income source that can help you meet your daily expenses with ease. Why are you more concerned about such an income source at an old age? Because as you grow old, there are high chances that you have no regular job or any other regular income source to help you meet your expenses. Amid such a backdrop, you feel the importance of investment sources that give you guaranteed returns and a pre-fixed monthly income. This is the reason why many people who want non-marked-liked guaranteed return income options seek FDs. 

FD schemes are also popular among senior citizens as they need a regular monthly income, and many of the banks and NBFCs, including SBI, offer higher interest rates to senior citizens than the rates they offer to general citizens.

The 5-year FD also provides tax benefits, where deposits up to Rs 1.50 lakh in a financial year are not taxed, as per Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. 

SBI runs a lot of FD schemes for senior citizens, the popular of which are one-year, three-year and five-year.

Interest rates of SBI senior citizen FDs are 7.30 per cent for the one-year FD, 7.25 per cent for the three-year FD, and 7.50 per cent for the five-year FD (As per Paisabazaar.com data).
