Monthly Interest for 5 Lakh Fixed Deposit

Keeping your savings in a bank account may seem safe, but it is not the best financial strategy to grow your money. When you park your savings in a bank account, your money earns only a minimal interest and loses its value due to inflation and the increasing cost of living. So, it is vital that you invest your savings in schemes like Fixed Deposits (FD) that yield high returns.

FD is one of the safest investment options in India. It safeguards your principal amount and also assures guaranteed returns at a fixed rate of interest, ensuring that your money keeps growing. Thus, FDs are the most practical investment option to grow your money steadily without taking any risks.

You can open an FD account with us at Mahindra Finance and get the most competitive fixed deposit interest rates of up to 8.05% p.a.
