What is Corporate FD?
Corporate FD or Company Fixed Deposit is issued by Non-Banking Finance Company i.e. NBFC companies. In simple words, it is also called company deposit. In this also, like bank FD, a fixed interest rate is given to the investors. Its duration can be from a few months to years. Only NBFC companies recognized by RBI can accept deposits in corporate FD.
What is the difference between bank and corporate FD?
The biggest difference between bank FD and corporate FD is that since corporate FD is issued by NBFC, the interest rate in it is higher, so that investors who make FD in the bank are more attracted towards corporate FD. Here, like bank FD, the time limit plays an important role in the interest rate.
The second difference between bank FD and corporate FD is security. In bank FD, insurance up to Rs 5 lakh is given by DICGC. In such a situation, if the bank collapses, the money will be given to the investor who has made the FD by DICGC. However, no such insurance is available in corporate FD. If the NBFC company collapses, then your money also sinks with it.
Be sure to check the rating before investing
Before investing in corporate FDs it is better to compare the corporates first and check if they have good ratings from CARE, CRISIL and ICRA. AAA rating is considered the best. Investors should also look at the track record of the company’s profit and loss. Most banks charge a penalty to FD investors for premature withdrawal. This usually happens around 3 months after the investment.
