FD Interest Rates 2024: What SBI, PNB, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Indian Overseas Bank are offering

FD Interest Rates 2024: Fixed deposit (FD) is one of the most popular small savings schemes in India. Investors seeking guaranteed returns in non-marked-linked investment options find FD as a reliable scheme of investment. Banks and non-banking finance companies (NBFC) also understand the popularity of FDs well, and that’s why they run a lot of FD schemes. While these FDs provide interest to investors on maturity, deposits in the 5-year FD also give investors tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Banks and NBFCs offer FDs of different durations and amounts. Leading banks such as State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB), Bank of Baroda (BoB), Indian Overseas Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank also offer FDs.
