Bank FD Rates: Many banks have increased the interest rate on fixed deposits (FDs) with a tenure of three years for senior citizens. RBI has increased the repo rate for four consecutive times this year. Recently, Bandhan Bank has increased the interest rate of FD of 600 days.

Whereas for non-senior citizens, the interest rate for a normal FD of 600 days is 7.5 percent. Bandhan Bank is offering up to 8 percent interest to senior citizens aged 60 years and above. Small and new private banks are now giving interest of up to 8 percent to senior citizens on FDs of three years.

Senior citizens should invest some part of their savings in FDs, from which they will continue to earn income on a regular basis. Savings are used to build an emergency fund. Although bank FDs are taxed, the minimum tax slab for most senior citizens ensures that the tax liability is minimal or zero if the other income is zero.
