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.

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.
