  1. What happens when the term is completed ? Do they automatically credit the maturity proceeds into our demat bank a/c ? Or would there be any small type clause where they would renew the deposit with out our concurrence ? This question is applicable to all such FDs/NCDs etc pls !

  2. I am due for retirement in May 2022. How should I plan for my retirement in the next 3 years. Post retirement what are the best avenues for safe investments and returns considering the volatile economic environment in the country. Could you prioritise the options available and the maximum investments that could be made in these avenues so that monthly returns could be acheived.
