PUNE: In the past few months, the RBI has reduced repo rates several times, in order to promote higher liquidity. However, excess liquidity in the economy exerts downward pressure on deposit rates, thereby leading to reduced FD interest rates. Amid falling FD rates, instruments like Bajaj Finance Ltd., the lending and investment arm of Bajaj Finserv, offers Fixed Deposit at an attractive interest rate of up to 7.85%.
Bajaj Finance FD offers generous returns on maturity. In fact, new citizens can get returns up to 7.60%, which goes up to 7.70% for existing Bajaj Finance customers. This deposit works best for senior citizens, who get a 0.25% rate boost with FD rates of up to 7.85%. The effect of compounding makes savings grow more, when invested for a longer tenure.
These fixed deposit interest rates vary for customer types, and the tenures chosen by them. To demonstrate this better, here’s a table with earnings forecasted for different tenures, if a customer deposits Rs. 10,00,000 in a Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit – Returns for tenor of 24 months: Customers Type
