Dear Sir
kindly adv me the credibility of Lokmanya multi purpose co operative society offering 11% of interest , also adv me the GOVERNENT NBFC where I can avail FD
Hello Krishnan, Co-operative societies can accept deposits only from its members. It cannot accept FDs from general public. These are high risk as they do not fall under deposit insurance credit guarantee corporation (DICGC insurance) as these are operated based on cooperative societies act. One can avoid such FDs
Great info.Every minute points are fully cleared.I really liked it as I am not a rich person.The detailed info about PO interest rates are really fantastic.For people like us its the safest.
A timely reminder that “if an offer is too good to be true, it often is.” Thank you. But should not RBI or other regulatory authorities take action if an entity is not authorised to accept deposits?
Ideally yes. But you know unless some one complains, things would not move right. Who can take such initiative?
Suresh,
Thank you for this information. Even though I search daily for monthly fixed income options (FDs and NCDs), I didn’t find this company. My habit of daily visiting your website is paying handsome dividends!
Thanks,
Manoj
Good to hear this Manoj
Even if it is registered with RBI as a fixed deposit taking entity, there is hardly any RBI oversight or timely intervention which ensures safety of principal and timely payment of interest. Nothing which RBI can do or could do. There is no such example also available in the public domain where RBI has intervened timely in any such company ensuring timely payment of interest and principal.
Kamalji, If it is RBI registered NBFC, it would undergo credit rating for its FDs. Then we would know how credit rating agencies rate such small companies who are offering FDs. Based on this some conclusion can be made.
Thanks sir pl. Let t know when their provide registration with rbi
Sure Sarabdeep singh
