FD Update- If you are thinking of making a fixed deposit (FD) and want to get more interest, then Small Finance Banks (SFBs) can be a better option for you. Usually, big banks like State Bank of India (SBI) offer 6.25 percent to 6.45 percent interest on FDs of 1 to 3 years. On the other hand, Small Finance Banks offer higher returns to attract customers. The interest rate in these banks ranges from 7.1 percent to 7.77 percent.
