In case of unforeseen financial needs, investors can opt for premature withdrawal, although it may attract a penalty, check with your financial institution before investing.

Factors that influence FD rates

1. Repo rate

The Repo rate set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) plays a significant role in determining FD rates. When the Repo rate is high, financial institutions may offer higher FD rates to attract more funds from investors.

2. Maturity period

FD rates often vary based on the duration of the fixed deposit. Generally, long-term deposits can offer higher interest rates. Bajaj Finance provides up to 7.30% p.a. on their FD for the tenure of 60 months.

3. Competition

Market competition among financial institutions is a crucial factor. Institutions compete to attract depositors by offering more attractive interest rates. Therefore, FD rates may vary between financial institutions as they strive to secure deposits.

4. Liquidity needs

The liquidity requirements of a bank can impact FD rates. If a bank needs more funds to meet its lending requirements, it might raise FD rates to attract deposits. Conversely, if a bank has excess liquidity, it may lower FD rates.

5. Age

Many financial institutions offer higher FD rates for senior citizens. Before investing, individuals should check for age-specific benefits that can increase their returns. Bajaj Finance offers up to 0.35% p.a. higher interest rate to senior citizens.
