    Fixed Deposit Interest Rates: Here's What Key Banks Offer


    Fixed deposits or FDs are secure financial instruments offered by public, private sector banks, small finance banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and post offices, which fetch guaranteed returns. In a fixed depositaccount, money can be invested for a higher rate of interest than savings accounts. Fixed deposit interest rates are subject to change from time to time.
