Investors looking for fixed monthly interest can include non-cumulative fixed deposits in their investment portfolios.

What monthly interest can be earned on a Rs. 20 lakh fixed deposit?
Fixed deposits (FDs) are considered safe investments with minimal risk. When one thinks of capital safety, the first investment that comes to mind is an FD. With corporate FDs, the interest rate is predetermined, fixed for the entire tenor, and comparatively high. If you invest in 20 lakh FD for five years with Bajaj Finance, your applicable interest can be relatively higher. You can invest for 12-60 months to make the corporate FD more suitable to meet your short-term or long-term financial objectives. FD interest rates are 4-5% with most banks. With Bajaj Finance, investors can opt for periodic interest payouts as per their liquidity requirements by depositing savings in the non-cumulative FD plan. This plan gives investors the option of choosing between monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual interest payouts.
