The Reserve Bank of India has cut the policy rates by 0.25 percent after 5 years, due to which the common man is expected to get relief in interest. Due to the reduction in the repo rate, the return on money deposited in banks will also decrease. Fixed deposits are considered a safe investment instrument in Indian households, and people usually invest a large part of their income in FD. However, this repo rate cut will hurt the returns of FD, which may disappoint investors.
If interest rates on FDs are going to decrease, then this is the best time to start a new FD. Such rates are going to be less in the future. According to the information given by some banks, which are giving good returns on FDs of different tenures. If you are looking for safety and better returns, then look at the schemes offered by these banks. Do not forget to compare FD rates to make the right decision.
