Fixed deposit (FD) rates vary widely across banks, making it important for investors to compare options before investing. While small finance banks are offering higher interest rates, private and public sector banks continue to provide relatively lower returns.

Even a small difference in interest rates can impact your overall earnings, especially for longer tenures. Have a look at the interest rates by different banks before making investment decisions.
