New Delhi: If you’re looking to make the most of your savings, now might be a good time to consider a special fixed deposit (FD). Several banks, including Indian Bank and IDBI Bank, are offering limited-time FD schemes with attractive interest rates. Indian Bank has introduced two special options, 444-day and 555-day FDs and both of them are ending in September. Similarly, IDBI Bank is offering 444, 555, and 700-day FDs, also with September deadlines.
Understanding Special Fixed Deposits
Special Fixed Deposits (FDs) are limited-time offers from banks with unique durations like 444 days, 555 days, or 700 days. They often come with higher interest rates, especially for senior and super senior citizens, compared to regular FDs.
These schemes are usually available only for a short period. Once the deadline passes, the bank may either end the offer or revise the interest rates before continuing it. If you have extra money you’d like to invest safely, these special FDs can be a great option but it’s best to act before the offer ends.
