Even though the market today offers numerous investment options, most people choose fixed deposits (FDs) for a safe and fixed interest rate. FDs are considered a low-risk option, especially for investors who want to stay out of market fluctuations. However, it's always beneficial to compare interest rates from different banks before investing a large sum.

While FD interest rates generally don't vary significantly between banks, even a small difference of just 0.50% (50 basis points) can significantly increase your earnings in the long run.

For example:

Suppose you make an FD of ₹10 lakh for three years and earn 0.50% more interest, your earnings could increase by ₹15,000. Additionally, if the same amount is ₹20 lakh, your additional benefit could be up to ₹30,000. Therefore, before choosing a long-term FD, be sure to check the interest rates. Let's explore the 7 banks with the highest FD interest rates.
