The state-owned lender is offering distinct pricing structures depending on whether investors select a callable option (allowing premature withdrawal) or a non-callable option (funds locked in until maturity for a slightly higher yield).

The scheme features structured tiers designed to maximize returns for elderly demographics, with premium rates stretching up to 7.40% for super senior citizens.
