SBI Senior Citizen FD Interest Rates: Retirement planning is an important aspect for a young person, but it is equally pivotal for senior citizens as they need a regular income source to run their monthly expenses. Senior citizens make investments to get return that they use for their expenses. Since most of them don't want to take much risk with their money in old age, a lot of them invest in fixed deposit (FD) schemes. FDs are guaranteed return schemes, where senior citizens can park their lump sum amount for a certain duration and get return on maturity. If they want, they can get this interest on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis.
Like many other banks, State Bank of India (SBI) also offers a number of FD schemes for senior citizens. Some of them are special FDs such as Amrit Kalash, Amrit Vrishti, Sarvottam, Green Rupee Term Deposit, others are traditional FDs such as 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10 years.
