Fixed deposits are not any market-linked investment instrument, thereby letting individuals grow their money at a predetermined interest rate. The returns of fixed deposits stay independent of the volatility of the market sentiment.

Individuals willing to take advantage of this safe and secure investment option can go with Bajaj Finance. Remaining on par with the increase in repo rate to 6.50% (effective from February 2023), Bajaj Finance has raised the interest rate of its fixed deposit up to 8.20%. Interested individuals can book their fixed deposits by submitting an amount starting from only Rs. 15,000.

Ensure high and stable returns onfixed deposits with Bajaj Finance

At Bajaj Finance, individuals can book their fixed deposits (FDs) by depositing an amount between Rs.15,000 and Rs.5 crore for a tenure within the range of 12 to 60 months. The interest rate of Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit, ranges between 7.40% to 8.20% (w.e.f March 4,2023).

In this regard, individuals need to keep in mind two aspects, maturity period and payout frequency.

Following are how these aspects influence the overall income on fixed deposits.

  1. Maturity period

The interest rate increases with the tenure. So, when individuals choose to stay invested for a longer period, they can secure a more attractive Fixed Deposit interest rate.

Here is the table illustrating how individuals over 60 years of age can grow their money at a high and stable interest rate by going with a longer tenure:

2. Payout frequency

At Bajaj Finance, individuals get the option to choose their interest payout frequency. It can be cumulative in which they will get their total accumulated interest upon the completion of maturity. Owing to the compounding effect, it can help them grow their fund faster.

On the other hand, if they choose a non-cumulative payout, they will get the interest generated on their deposits after a certain period, which can be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or yearly. However, since the interest amount is paid out periodically, individuals are unable to leverage the compounding effect.

Here is the table that compares the interest-earning on cumulative and monthly payouts, considering the fixed deposit amount and tenor as respectively Rs.10 lakh and 48 months:

Although the non-cumulative payout option reduces the applicable FD rate, it can be a significant substitute for income since they will get a certain amount periodically.

Much to the delight of customers, Bajaj Finance offers a special tenor on which they can book their FDs at an increased interest rate. There are six special tenors for Bajaj Finance FD, which are 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, and 44 months.
