New Delhi: In the past few years, interest rates on FDs have come down very rapidly. This created problems for investors who have been putting their money in FDs for years. The problem is that such investors are no longer getting the returns they used to get. In fact, people invest in FDs, so that there is no risk and they do not have to worry much.
