FD schemes are popular among senior citizens since investment in such programmes offers them a guaranteed return. Since FDs are not market-linked, investment in them is much safer than market-linked schemes such as stocks and mutual funds. State Bank of India (SBI), like many prominent lenders, runs many FD schemes for general citizens as well as senior citizens. It offers extra interest rates on some FDs to senior citizens. Investors also get an income tax exemption on deposits up to Rs 1.50 lakh in five-year FDs.
The current SBI annual interest rates in SBI senior citizen FDs are 7.60 (in the 400 Amrit Kalash scheme), 7.30% in a 1-year FD, 7.25% in a 3-year FD, and 7.50% in a 5-year FD (As per data collated from Paisabazaar.com).
