Fixed Deposit (FD) interest rates are at a peak. These are not expected to increase further with the rate freeze by RBI. In such a situation, if you want strong returns, then this is your chance.
Fixed Deposit (FD) interest rates have increased rapidly in the past. But now that the RBI has stopped the increase in repo rates, there is little chance that rates will go up further. With RBI freezing rates for the second time in a row, it is now certain that banks will not increase interest rates on these deposits any further.
Some banks have started cutting their FD rates. On June 1, 2023, Punjab National Bank (PNB) reduced its rates for one year FDs. Since April last year, the RBI increased the repo rate by 250 basis points (bps) to 6.5 per cent. On the contrary, banks increased their rates to woo more customers.
There are some FD schemes which have proved to be very useful for the customers and have given huge profits to the customers. Now they are on the verge of closure. Come, let us have a look at some special FD schemes that will close on June 30.
