Things to keep in mind

While higher FD rates can improve returns, investors should not choose deposits based on interest rates alone. Factors such as the bank's financial strength, tenure, liquidity needs and deposit insurance should also be considered.

Deposits of up to ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank are covered under the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC). Investors with larger amounts may consider spreading deposits across multiple banks to remain within the insurance limit while benefiting from competitive interest rates.
