Traditional investment tools, like Fixed Deposits, are often ignored by investors who prefer avenues that provide them with high returns. However, in April 2022, the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee began raising the repo rates, which caused several financial institutions to raise their fixed deposit interest rates.
If you have accumulated a large amount of savings or have windfall funds, you can consider parking them in a fixed deposit. This investment tool is known to provide guaranteed returns, making it a stable and secure option for risk-averse investors.
FDs will also provide you with guaranteed returns as it is not linked to the market. You can also opt for a monthly interest payout to improve your overall finances, as an added benefit.
