SBI Senior Citizen FD Interest Rates: Senior citizens need financial freedom in their retirement life, so they need a fixed income source. This income helps them meet their daily expenses in old age, and they don't have to depend on anyone for monetary needs. That's the reason a lot of them prefer investing in the guaranteed return schemes, where they get a fixed income post retirement. Many banks and small banks encourage them to invest and offer extra interest rates on fixed deposits (FDs). State Bank of India (SBI) also offers extra interest rates on FDs compared to rates it offers to general citizens. E.g., SBI's interest rates for general citizens for its Amrit Kalash, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year FDs are 7.25 per cent, 6.80 per cent, 6.75 per cent, and 6.50 per cent, respectively.
