  1. Dear Sir,

    I have some Fixed Deposits in Bank and Society . To keep track of all these are bit difficulty. I would like to know whether there is any Mobile app to track these things easily. If we can see the maturity amt , maturity date, interest amt in shot which will be more easier
    Offline is most preferable.

    Thanks in advance
