Investing in fixed deposits (FD) is considered a good option. The biggest advantage is that you get both safety and fixed returns. There is no risk. Even though many banks have reduced FD interest rates after the cut in repo rate, some banks have introduced special FD schemes for a fixed time. One of these is the 444-day FD scheme. Many banks, including SBI, Canara Bank and Indian Bank, are giving good interest rates to common citizens, senior citizens and super senior citizens on this FD.

The country’s largest government bank, State Bank of India (SBI), has named its special 444-day FD plan “Amrit Vrishti.” In this FD, general citizens get 6.60% interest, senior citizens get 7.10%, and super senior citizens get 7.20%. For example, if you invest ₹1,00,000 in SBI’s Amrit Vrishti FD, you will get around ₹1,08,288 at maturity. Out of this, the interest amount will be ₹8,288.
