There are many banks that offer an interest rate of 7 per cent on FD. Such a deal will easily attract customers who are dissatisfied with the decline in interest rates for fixed deposits in the last few months. SBI currently proposes an interest rate of 4.90 percent for an amount of up to Rs 2 crore for deposits between 1 year and 2 years. Unlike stocks, the return received on a bank FD is fixed and determined at the point of investing. The minimum and maximum tenure for which it is possible to hold an FD differs from bank to bank. Generally, one can invest in FD for a minimum duration of 7 days and for a maximum of 10 years. Small finance banks typically offer higher interest rates on fixed deposits as opposed to commercial banks. Several banks are currently providing interest rates spanning from 2.5 to 7.5 percent on FDs. FDs ranging from 7 days to 10 years are supported by major banks such as the State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank and many others. A selection of small finance banks gives approximately 7 percent interest through chosen maturities to the general public and about 7.5 percent to senior citizens. In order to boost their deposits and contend with commercial banks, many banking analysts agree that these banks concentrate on high-interest rates. Besides that, the interest rate in the Covid-19 pandemic was limited by these lenders. Previously, these banks provided an interest rate of over 9%.

Note: Important to remember here is that one must review the guidelines on premature withdrawals at the time of holding an FD. Banks often deliver a variety of FDs without an early withdrawal facility. You should, therefore, break your FD before the maturity date in case of a catastrophe. The bank can impose a penalty on premature withdrawals. The amount of the penalty varies from one bank to the next.
