New Delhi: In today's unpredictable financial landscape, finding a secure way to save and grow your money is essential. One tried and tested method is investing in Fixed Deposits (FDs). Not only do FDs provide a safe haven for your funds, but they also offer an opportunity to earn a substantial interest over a fixed period.
Under the Fixed Deposit scheme, you deposit your money once when opening the account. The interest rates, which vary based on the bank, deposit amount, and tenure, play a crucial role in determining your Return on Investment (ROI).

The tenure for Fixed Deposits can range from a short 7 days to a long-term commitment of 10 years. At the end of this period, the interest accrued is calculated based on the principal amount, and the total amount (principal + interest) is returned to the depositor.
