Here we are talking about Reserve Bank of India’s Floating Rate Savings Bond 2022 (RBI Floating Rates Savings Bonds 2022).
This scheme of RBI is getting excellent returns these days. But its interest rates are also going to increase in the coming days.

The interest on RBI Floating Rate Savings Bonds is not fixed. Its interest rate is linked to the National Savings Certificate (NSC), which is one of the special schemes of the post office. The interest of NSC is reviewed every quarter, so the changes in the bond will also be on the same basis. Investors in the bond will get the benefit of 0.35 per cent more interest as compared to NSC.

The largest public sector bank State Bank of India (SBI) is giving a maximum interest of 7.10 per cent to general customers. Same is the case with other public sector banks. Although some small finance banks are offering up to 9% interest on FDs.
