  1. Dear Sir,

    I want to know about compounding interest scheme. To enjoy compounding interest where to invest?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Anant

    1. Hi Anant, Any investment option which indicates that interest would be compounded quarterly or annually can be looked. e.g. All Bank FD schemes pay interest quarterly or annually and the interest is compounded, means you would get compound interest on your interest. 

  2. dear suresh sir, vijaya bank is also offering upto 9.75 % 9.6% and 9.5 % on selected maturities named as v-samman, v-siddhi and v- vaibhav. i think vijaya bank is public sector bank.

  3. Dear Suresh,

    1. Hi Bhanu, For short term investment of 1 year, invest in Bank FD only. Andhra Bank is offering 9.5% returns for 1 year. This could be one option. If you can take some risk, you can invest in debt mutual funds like SBI Dynamic Bond fund or IDFC Dynamic Bond Fund.

  5. Dear Suresh.  Thanks for the nice compilation of interest rates which is very good for investors before taking the decision to invest.  One observation is that KVB is not included in the list and this bank is offerring 10% interest for deposits upto 1 year  ( highest of all banks..I think)  Please share the same with all so that they can benefit as well.

     

    Thanks and regards  raman

    1. Thanks Raman. Agreed KVB offers 10% interest rate for 1 year. Since there are several private banks, I have included only major ones. I have noted this and would add in my next month article. 

      1. Dear Suresh. Thanks for considering my point on KVB. I did not know that KVB is a private bank. Is it safe to invest in a private bank? Will my money be treated the same way as other public sector banks? Please clarify as I will be investing my retirement funf in the bank. Thanks n regs raman

        1. Hi Raman, All banks are monitored and controlled by RBI. However the risk is still there. We should not forget about GTB and Prudential bank incidents. Since the trust is not yet built in, small private banks offer high interest rates beyond 9%. If you are looking for save option, invest in Andhra Bank where they are offering 9.5% for 1 year deposits.
