SBI Senior Citizen FD Interest Rates: Know your maturity amounts on Rs 3 lakh, Rs 6 lakh, Rs 9 lakh and Rs 12 lakh investments in 1-, 3- and 5-year fixed deposit schemes
SBI Senior Citizen FD Interest Rates: In post-retirement days, senior citizens look for a steady income source that can help them meet monthly expenses with ease. A fixed deposit (FD) scheme provides them with assurance that they will have a regular income source in the form of interest. State Bank of India (SBI) also offers FDs for senior citizens. The interest rate varies from scheme to scheme.
SBI Senior Citizen FD Interest Rates: Senior citizens need to have some source of income to meet their monthly expenses. The best is that they have their own source of income and don't have to depend on others. But in old age, they often don't have energy to work or don't find jobs at all. That's why they look for investment options that can give them a steady income. Fixed deposit schemes may provide them with the option to have a regular income in the form of interest. In FDs, senior citizens invest a lump sum amount and get interest monthly, quarterly, or yearly. If they have invested a substantial amount in an FD, they can get interest that may help them meet their daily expenses easily. Post office, banks, and non-banking finance companies (NBFC) offer a lot of FD schemes.
Like many banks, State Bank of India (SBI) also offers FD schemes for senior citizens.
The bank runs the 400-day Amrit Kalash, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year FDs for senior citizens.
The bank offers its highest interest rates in the Amrit Kalash scheme at 7.60 per cent.
For senior citizens, SBI's interest rates in the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year schemes are 7.30 per cent, 7.25 per cent, and 7.50 per cent, respectively.
The 5-year FD provides tax benefits of up to Rs 1.50 lakh on deposits in a financial year.
On completion of the FD, senior citizens can get their principal amount back.
