Bank Highest FD Rate: When people invest in a term deposit, they generally look for a bank that offers the highest rate of interest. The rule of thumb is that the longer the tenure of the deposit, the higher the interest rate.
For instance, short-term bank FDs (up to six months) generally offer an interest rate between 3 and 4.5 per cent per annum. When the tenure stretches longer to one year, the interest rate rises to 6 per cent. So, as the tenure grows, the rate of interest inches upward.
Here, we list out the rate of interest offered by major banks on five-year FDs.
