HDFC Bank new FD rates
HDFC Bank has hiked interest rates on fixed deposits of less than ₹2 crore. As per the bank’s official website, the new rates are effective from 11th October 2022. After the latest hike, HDFC Bank interest interest rates ranging from 3.00% to 6.00% on deposits maturing in 7 days to 10 years to general public.

Recurring deposits (RDs) are similar to fixed deposits (FDs). But in case of RD, instead of investing everything at once, you may set up recurring deposits to make deposits on a monthly basis.
Investing in an RD scheme is a great option for salaried people as they do not have to invest a lump sum amount at one time as is the case in Fixed Deposits. In RD, the investor needs to invest only a part of their income every month, the amount of which is predetermined.
