Banks and financial institutions provide both regular fixed deposits (FDs) and special FDs. The only difference is that special FDs are offered for a limited period and provide higher interest rates. Similar to regular FDs, special FDs also provide better interest rates to senior citizens. In this article, we will compare two special FDs- one is provided by the Central Bank of India and the other is Union Bank of India.
The PSU bank provides a 7.50 per cent interest rate to senior citizens on a 1111-day special FD, while it gives a 7 per cent interest rate to others on the same FD.
If a senior citizen invests Rs 1,00,000 in Central Bank of India's 1111-day FD, they will get Rs 1,25,379 on maturity while others will get Rs 1,23,519.
