Fixed deposit interest rates are subject to change from time to time.

Fixed deposit or FD, a secure financial instrument, is offered by banks as well as non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). The interest rates offered on company fixed deposits are higher than those on bank fixed deposits. However, while returns on bank FDs are assured, the interest rates on corporate fixed deposits depend on the profits posted by the companies, say financial experts. Non-banking finance companies such as Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited, Bajaj Finserv and Mahindra Finance offer the option of opening a fixed deposit.

Here are the latest interest rates offered by non-banking finance companies on fixed deposits:
