Why do senior citizens receive greater benefits?

Banks offer higher interest rates on FDs to senior citizens to ensure that their regular income remains robust following retirement. A key advantage is that they continue to receive consistently better interest rates on long-term FDs (ranging from 5 to 10 years). Generally, FDs are considered a safe investment option because the invested capital is returned along with a fixed, predetermined return.
