Senior Citizen FD Rates: Know highest interest rates SBI, PNB, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and others are offering

Senior Citizen FD Rates: Fixed Deposit (FD) schemes are popular among senior citizens since they give them guaranteed returns. FDs are not market-linked, so they keep senior citizens' deposits safe and offer them good interest rates. Senior citizens can withdraw interest monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. Such a regular income can help them meet monthly expenses and achieve financial freedom even at an old age. All leading banks in India encourage senior citizens to invest money in FDs, and as a result, they offer them higher interest rates on FDs compared to they offer to general citizens.
