Long term FDs are giving maximum interest but lack of liquidity is definitely a limitation. Investors can get better returns by opting for short and long term FDs. You can earn maximum interest by investing in FDs soon because if RBI reduces the repo rate in the year 2025, then the interest on FD may decrease.
