(Pooja Pal; Intern Journalist): In this climate of economic slowdown, RBI has reduced the repo rate significantly. Due to this, car loans, home loans, and other retail loans have become cheaper. However, the reduction in interest rates has also affected the returns on Fixed Deposit (FD). Most of the major banks in the country have reduced the interest rate on FD. However, the guarantee of fixed returns still makes this scheme quite attractive for investors. Fixed deposits are also called term deposits. This is because one invests in a bank for a pre-determined period. The following banks are offering great interest on FD to their customers even today.
