Here's a look at the interest rates for senior citizens and others on SBI's FD plans with 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year tenures:
State Bank of India (SBI) provides both senior and general citizens with a range of investment plans. Senior citizens can earn 7.75 percent interest through SBI's Amrit Vrishti FD scheme, while general citizens can earn 7.25 percent interest.
By offering a safe, low-risk investment option with guaranteed returns, the public lender also offers one-year, three-years, and five-yeard fixed deposit plans to the general and senior citizens. Seniors gain even more from the bank's marginally hiked interest rates, which are essential for generating a steady retirement income.
