Bank FD Returns: With the current interest rates, it is not possible to double the money in 10 years in FD. SBI offers 6.5% interest on 10-year FD, which will make ₹1 lakh ₹1.87 lakh. To double the amount, 7.18% return will be required, which is higher than the current FD rates.
Bank FD Returns: If you want to double your money in the next 7 to 10 years, investing in equity may be your first choice. However, conservative investors prefer safe investment options like fixed deposits (FD). But can you double your money in 10 years by investing in FD? Let’s know.
The return on fixed deposits depends entirely on the period for which you have locked the money. For example, if you invest money for 10 years, the interest rate of India’s largest bank SBI is 6.5%. At the same time, 6.75% interest is available for a period of 3 to 5 years. However, to double the money, the investment will have to give a return of 7.18% in 10 years, 10.41% in 7 years or 14.87% in 5 years. But this is not possible considering the current interest rates.
