  1. Small Finance banks like Jana Small Fin Bk and Utkarsh Small Fin Bk are offering FD interst rates as high as 9.6% and 9.5% for senior citizens. Please let me know how safe they are and whether it has some gauranty from RBI. A comparative financial analysis of best small Finance banks would be welcome.

    1. Small finance banks are new comers, hence we are yet to see how good they are in corporate governance. As of now, you can consider that there is risk element

      1. Sir, I would be grateful if you can give a comparative financial analysis inclusive of paid up capital, profit, NPA ratio etc to assess financial strength of Small finance banks before investing in FDs.

  2. I think you should include small finance banks also in this comparison. These banks offer about 100 basis points more when compared with other banks. In terms of risk, all banks are on equal footing.

    1. Hello Surendhran, It is not just 1 column. We need to provide all 5 years i.e. 5 columns. We would provide this as seperate article going forward

  3. What is premature withdrawal FDS vs no premature withdrawal and its advantages? Please explain with a simple example for easy understanding. With no premature withdrawal- how much difference in ICICI interest rate?
