Financial institutions such as banks, post office, small finance banks and non-banking financial companies offer fixed deposit accounts. Customers can deposit money in fixed deposits for a specific period, ranging from seven days to 10 years. Banks usually pay a higher rate of interest to senior citizens than general public on fixed deposits. FD interest rates are subject to change from time to time.
