SMALL FINANCE BANKS FD RATES

COMPARITIVE FIXED DEPOSIT INTEREST RATES

offered by Indian Banks 

Editor's Note dated 20.11.2020 :  Small Finance Banks    are new breed of banks  permitted by Reserve Bank of India   in 2015  and it has given  licence to open ten of such banks  . They are primarily to  finance small  business and SME sector . They are also permitted to collect deposits   . 

We find that the   interest rates offered  by such Small Finance Banks are generally higher than that of  other public sector banks  or in the same range  as of other banks  , private sector banks   and  post office deposits .   .   The attractive rates   offered by them   sometimes makes investors apprehensive  about the safety of deposits in them .  Silver-lining is  that  the Deposits up to Rs 5.00 lakhs placed with them comes under DICGC cover for bank deposits .
