Hello Suresh!
Happy New Year. There are Small Finance Banks that are aggressively marketing their FD product. They are offering high interest rates in both FDs and SB accounts. Can you survey these banks and give us an overall picture? Are they governed and policed by RBI? An overview in this sector of banks will be greatly appreciated by senior citizens who are solely depending on interest income.
