5 Banks Offering Highest FD Interest Rates In 2022

If fixed deposits are your prefered way of long-term investment, then you are probably always checking up on the highest FD interest rates available across banks. Fixed deposits are one of the most fundamental types of investments that are preferred by young and old, as well as professional and amateur investors alike. Fixed deposits are one of the only few investments where there is absolutely zero risk involved and returns are guaranteed and quantifiable. Fixed deposits can be of two types; regular fixed deposits or recurring fixed deposits. Under regular fixed deposits, investors deposit a lump-sum amount of money for a fixed period of time and earn a fixed rate of interest. On the other hand, under recurring deposits, investors deposit a certain amount of money each month into the FD until the FD matures. Most banks and financial institutions in India offer the service of fixed deposits to customers.
