Due to its numerous advantages, a fixed deposit (FD) is regarded as one of the safest investments and is the preferred investment vehicle for investors throughout. One of the most dependable financial products available is a fixed deposit, sometimes referred to as a term deposit. For example, depending on your selected interest payment plan, you receive safe, consistent, and fixed returns on a certain date. Interest payment plans are available on a monthly, quarterly, or half-yearly basis. With your FD investment, you can also choose to build up a lump sum and get cumulative interest payments.

How safe are small finance banks?

According to the AU Small Finance Bank website, "Like other types of banks in India, the RBI regulates and governs small finance banks. Therefore, all the banking norms, such as Statutory Liquidity Ratio Requirements, Cash Ratio Reserve Requirements, etc., apply to them. Moreover, the RBI also defines aspects like Eligibility Criteria and Mandatory Promoter Contribution for SFBs. In other words, there are stringent regulations that SFBs must adhere to for their operations. As the RBI regulates the segment, SFBs are as safe as any other type of bank."
