Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation gives a guarantee of up to Rs 5 lakh on investments in FD schemes. One of the safest investment options is fixed deposits, with tenor ranging from 7 days to 10 years.
FDs have a maturity period, you have to deposit money for that number of years. But this advantage is also that if needed, you can withdraw money even before time. Although you lose interest if you break the FD before maturity, some penalty has to be paid on it. Which is different in different banks.
