Fixed Deposit

Fixed deposit (FD) is one of the safest investment options through which people can earn relatively higher interest in comparison to a regular savings account. Interest is accumulated on the deposited amount over a fixed period of time. The interest rate depends on the type of lenders (public sector, private sector, or small finance banks). Senior citizens are usually offered higher interest rates. In the case of an emergency, you can easily liquidate your FD and get the funds.
