  1. Hi Suresh,

    Can you post me the links for the fixed deposit rates for the year 2011 & 2012 (preferably April). Thankyou

  2. Hi Suresh,

    In this scenario of falling interest rates, the fixed deposit from a government company Tamil Nadu Power Finance which offers 9% interest for Senior citizens seems very attractive.

    Request you to share your view on this FD scheme and it would benefilt all viewers if you can do a detailed review of this scheme and another one from KTDFC in this blog.

    Thanks!
