Fixed Deposit Interest Rates: SBI Vs Yes Bank Vs PNB Vs HDFC Bank
Fixed deposits (FDs) are secure financial instruments, which offer guaranteed returns. FD interest rates vary according to the tenure of the fixed deposit and across banks. In a fixed deposit account, money is deposited for a specific time, which can vary from 7 days to ten years. Fixed deposits offer much higher interest rates than savings accounts. The fixed deposit accounts which have a lock-in period of five or 10 years also offer income tax benefit under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
