This bank's "Federal" gift for Republic India!
Federal Bank has hiked interest rates to as much as 8.25 per cent on fixed deposits of 500 days.
Federal Bank has hiked fixed deposit interest rates to as high as 8.25 per cent. But only senior citizens will get this much interest rate. They will have to open an FD with the Kerela based lender for 500 days to earn this much interest. General citizens will get 7.75 per cent rate of interest on this FD. But is 8.25 per cent currently the highest interest rate that senior citizens can get by opening an FD with any of the private sector banks in the country?
