Senior Citizen Fixed Deposits (FDs) are term deposit plans with special interest rates offered by leading banks to individuals who are over the age of 60. These fixed deposit accounts offer a wide range of benefits to senior citizens, apart from the additional rate of interest that can go up to 0.50% more than for the general public.
They offer special interest rates which tend to be higher, thereby resulting in more earnings.
It creates a safe space for the money to grow in at a steady pace.
The senior citizen fixed deposit can also be a tax saver deposit which help get tax deductions under section 80C of the IT Act.
Senior citizens can choose different interest payout options where interest is credited to the depositors savings account on a frequent basis - either monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.
