fixed deposit
Fixed Deposit (FD) has always been a great investment option for investors who do not take risk on investment. Due to no reduction in repo rates in the last two years, many banks are giving increased interest on FDs. However, now there is a possibility of reduction in interest rates. This is because RBI will cut the repo rate in the coming days. After this, banks will also reduce interest on FD. Now is the best time to invest in FD. In such a situation, if you are thinking of getting a new FD on Diwali, then we are telling you about those 4 banks which are giving excellent interest on FD.
