Senior Citizen Fixed Deposit Rates Up to 8.10% Offered by Small Finance Banks
Senior citizens seeking fixed deposit (FD) investments can find interest rates up to 8.10% from small finance banks like Suryoday and Utkarsh, with tenures typically around five years. Larger banks such as SBI, Axis Bank, and ICICI offer lower rates between 6.50% and 7.25%. While small finance banks provide higher returns, experts advise caution due to differing risk profiles and recommend limiting investments within insured limits. Comparing FD rates across banks helps maximize returns without added risk.
