Some benefits of Fixed Deposits

Fixed Deposits (FDs) present several advantages for investors, including assured returns and capital protection. This key feature ensures a stable and predictable income stream, with Bajaj Finance, a renowned name in financial world, offering competitive interest rates. This not only guarantees consistent returns but also safeguards the invested capital.

Moreover, safety and security are paramount for investors, and Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposits stand out for their robust financial standing. Achieving the highest safety ratings like CRISIL AAA/STABLE and [ICRA]AAA(STABLE), these FDs provide an additional layer of assurance for those concerned about the safety of their hard-earned money.

Additionally, Bajaj Finance offers flexibility in the tenure of Fixed Deposits, allowing investors to customise their investments to meet specific financial goals. Whether catering to short-term liquidity needs or aiming for long-term wealth creation, FDs from Bajaj Finance provide tenures that align with diverse financial aspirations.

With Bajaj Finance, investors have the flexibility of choosing two types of fixed deposits:

  1. Cumulative fixed deposit.
  2. Non-cumulative fixed deposit.

The non-cumulative FD proves beneficial for those desiring a consistent income, featuring monthly interest payouts. This type is particularly suitable for a monthly interest plan on a fixed deposit of Rs. 10 lakh.

In contrast, the cumulative FD is the preferred choice for investors with long-term financial objectives, emphasising both safety and growth over time. With these FDs, the principal amount, along with the accrued interest, is received in a lump sum on the maturity date.
