Top 5 Banks Promising Good Returns On Fixed Deposits of Up To 3 Years

| Published: Monday, August 9, 2021, 12:53 [IST]

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) agreed not to modify the repo and reverse repo rates at its bi-monthly monetary policy meeting on August 6, 2021, hence the repo and reverse rates are still at 4% and 3.35 percent, respectively. In such a scenario, it is preferable to invest in fixed deposits for a short period of time, such as 1 to 3 years, rather than locking in with a low rate of return for the long-term such as 5 years. Undoubtedly it would be a wise step for both regular customers and older folks. Hence by keeping the same strategy and the deposit safety cover provided by DICGC in mind here we have picked up the top 5 banks that are now promising higher returns on fixed deposits of less than 3 years.
