Special FD interest rate up to 8.05%: Invest in these 5 special FDs before March 31, 2025
In an effort to draw in investors, many banks have launched special fixed deposit (FD) schemes with higher interest rates in the last few years. Compared to traditional FDs, these limited-period schemes have given depositors—especially senior citizens—a good opportunity to earn higher profits.#sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;} .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px} #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;} #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;} #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important} #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%} #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;} However, there is an increasing chance that banks won't continue to offer these special FD schemes in light of the recent rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). A decrease in policy rates may soon result in a decline in FD interest rates as interest rates typically follow the RBI's monetary policy decisions. Therefore, before the special FD deadline, investors should think about investing in these schemes if they want to get better returns.

State Bank of India (SBI) – Amrit Vrishti & Amrit KalashIndian Bank – IND Supreme 300 Days & IND Super 400 DaysIDBI Bank – Utsav Callable FDThe investment deadline for these schemes is March 31, 2025. This offers a time-sensitive investment opportunity for people who want to save as much money as possible because banks may stop offering these high-return schemes as a result of anticipated rate decreases.
