Everyone saves some amount from their earnings and plans to invest it in a place where their money is safe along with strong returns. Especially senior citizens invest with this in mind and accordingly, fixed deposit i.e. FD has emerged as a better option to invest.
When the Reserve Bank of India had increased the burden on the people by continuously increasing the repo rate due to inflation being at its peak, then many banks in the country had given relief to the customers by increasing the interest rate on their FDs. The 400-day special FD scheme of the country’s largest public sector bank SBI is quite popular in this case, named Amrit Kalash Scheme (SBI Amrit Kalash FD Scheme), whose deadline is near.
