Shriram Finance FD Types

1. Cumulative FD

This is one of the more popular FD types. Here, you get your interest only on maturity, based on the tenor you choose. The cumulative FD tenor options include 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 50, and 60 months. Do note that the Shriram FD rates for regular citizens vary from 7.59% p.a. to 8.47% p.a. (not inclusive of the additional rate for women), based on the tenor.  

Adding to the benefits, senior citizen investors receive an extra 0.50% interest on the base rate offered and women depositors are eligible for an additional 0.10%. For all investor profiles, the minimum cumulative FD investment is ₹5,000, and you can prematurely withdraw your corpus, if needed. 

You can opt to auto-renew your cumulative FD investment. This facility can be accessed at the time of investing.  

2. Non-Cumulative FD

Here, the non-cumulative FD tenor options are the same as the cumulative FD. However, the FD rates are generally lower depending on the payout frequency you choose i.e., monthly, quarterly half-yearly or annually. 

 

The Shriram Finance non-cumulative FD rates range from 7.59% p.a. to 8.80% p.a. with an additional 0.50% interest rate applicable for senior citizens.
