Written By DNA Web Team | Updated: Jan 22, 2023, 06:04 PM IST

A fixed deposit (FD) is a financial instrument offered by banks or non-bank financial institutions.

Banks increased their lending and deposit rates significantly as a result of the RBI raising the repo rate by 225 basis points to 6.25 per cent during the past eight months. Bank fixed deposits with tax benefits are eligible for Section 80C tax deductions up to Rs 1.5 lakh. However, there is a 5-year lock-in on these FDs. The FD interest rate charts for tax-saving deposits are topped by smaller private banks and small finance banks. 

Many banks are offering extremely favourable interest rates on 3-year fixed deposits. In actuality, the interest produced on 3-year deposits is typically significantly larger compared to accounts with 1- or 2-year durations
