If you have accumulated significant savings, investing in a fixed deposit can be a smart choice. To make the most of this investment, align it with your short-term or long-term financial goals and select a suitable tenure accordingly.

For instance, with a 5-year tenure, a Rs. 1 Lakh fixed deposit at an interest rate of 10% can yield up to Rs. 833 per month, resulting in an annual return of Rs. 61,051. On the other hand, choosing a 3-year tenure at the same rate will provide a monthly payout of Rs. 833, but the total annual interest earned would be Rs. 33,100. Shorter durations generally result in lower interest earnings.

Fixed deposits allow you to earn steady returns over your preferred tenure while offering flexible liquidity options. Opting for a monthly interest payout on a Rs. 1 Lakh FD can help you receive consistent returns based on your financial needs.
