Benefits of investing in fixed deposits
Almost all banks are offering higher rate of interest on fixed deposits. But if we talk about senior citizens, 0.25 to 0.75 interest rate is being given on fixed deposit on regular FD. While investing in fixed deposits, we should keep in mind that if we cannot withdraw money whenever we want, then if we do, then we have to pay a penalty.
