FD Interest Rate : When it comes to safe investments for senior citizens, FDs remain one of the most reliable options. FDs protect capital and provide regular interest. This is why many senior citizens prefer FDs over riskier investments. Furthermore, banks offer higher interest rates to senior citizens than to regular customers, providing them with better returns. According to data from BankBazaar.com, major banks in the country offer interest rates ranging from 7% to 7.5% on deposits up to ₹3 crore.
