Can u provide NRE FD & RD interest rates ?
Vijay, you can refer this article for latest RD rates. https://myinvestmentideas.com/2013/04/latest-recurring-deposit-interest-rates-in-india-apr-2013/ For NRE FD, I would start compiling this from beginning of Jan 1st week and we would do every month going forward.
Hello Suresh,
I see that you’ve not included IDFC Bank which is offering competitive interest rates. Kindly include them in your future lists.
Thank you Balachandar. Would include that going forward
Thank u for yr. updates. Your information and suggestions on FD and NCD are useful
for taking investment options. We shall be thankful, if you could give your opinion on
the FD of Equitas Small bank, who are giving good interest of 8.5 % for one year and
8.8% for two years period, plus 0.75% for Sr.Citizens.
Your review in this coloumn will be helpful for all the depositors.
Deutsche bank offers 8% interest rate for 1 year 1 day fixed deposit which I think should be counted as 1 year.

ICICI bank from 2 years 1 day it is 7.5 sir. Just FYI.
