State Bank of India (SBI) is offering attractive interest rates on its Fixed Deposit (FD) schemes, making it a popular choice for safe investments.
You can open an FD with SBI for as little as 7 days and extend it up to 10 years, depending on your financial goals.
Currently, SBI offers interest rates ranging from 3.05% to 7.05%, based on the tenure and customer category.
For a 1-year (365-day) FD, the interest rates are:
6.25% for general citizens
6.75% for senior citizens
6.85% for very senior citizens (80+ years)
There is also a special scheme called the “Amrit Vrishti FD” (444 days), offering even higher returns—but for now, let’s focus on the 1-year option.
