- 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.
