Factors Affecting FD Rates

  1. Repo Rate: Changes in the repo rate set by the RBI can influence FD rates. A higher repo rate generally leads to higher FD rates as financial institution try to attract more funds from investors.
  2. Banks' Liquidity Needs: If a bank needs more funds to meet its lending requirements, it might raise FD rates to attract deposits, and if a bank has excess liquidity, it may lower FD rates.
  3. Automatic Renewals: Opting for automatic renewals can be beneficial. When your Fixed Deposit (FD) matures, renewing it at the current interest rate can give you higher interest rates, if interest rates have gone up at the time renewal.
  4. Age Consideration: Many financial institutions offer higher FD rates for senior citizens. Before investing, check for age-specific benefits that can increase your returns.
  5. Maturity Period: FD rates often vary based on the duration of the fixed deposit. Generally, longer-term deposits can offer higher interest rates.
