With a Host of Features, Senior Citizens Can Secure Their Future With a Bajaj Finance FD

PUNE, India, June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With the Reserve Bank of India's announcements to boost liquidity and ease financial stress, financiers wouldn't need to increase rates on conventional options like savings accounts or deposit rates. Additionally, the government had slashed interest on PPF, NSC, and other small savings schemes by 70 to 140 basis points for April-June quarter. Speculations about a further rate cut on these savings schemes, are also rife, as reports suggest that PPF interest rates may fall to a 46-year low as they may fall below 7%. 

Leading banks have reduced their deposit rates several times and FD interest rates are averaging below 6% during these times. Unfortunately, senior citizens have been hit the hardest, by these events.

Thus, they need inflation-beating interest rates of more than 7%, which can be availed by investing in a Senior Citizen Fixed Deposit offered by Bajaj Finance Ltd., the lending and investment arm of Bajaj Finserv. Here, they can get attractive FD interest rates, flexible tenures and multiple payout options, which make it an ideal investment for senior citizens.

Listed below are the reasons to know why senior citizens must choose Bajaj Finance FD to grow their savings: 

Highest safety and assured returns

Senior citizens looking to grow their savings with assured returns can invest in a Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit, which has the highest safety ratings of FAAA by CRISIL and MAAA by ICRA. Since these ratings indicate safety and credibility, senior citizens can rest assured that their principal and returns are in safe hands. They can hence, expect to receive their maturity proceeds on time.

With a clientele of more than 2,35,000 unique FD customers and a deposit book of 20,805 crores, Bajaj Finance is one of the most trusted FD issuers. More than 90,000 of these customers are senior citizens contribute towards a deposit book of more than 6200 crores. These numbers indicate the highest level of trust reposed by customers, in this deposit.

Higher interest rate for senior citizens

Even amid falling interest rates, senior citizens can get 0.25% higher fixed deposit rates with Bajaj Finance. And, depending on the tenure they choose, as a senior citizen investor, can earn interest of up to 7.85%. Here's a snapshot of how much one stands to gain by choosing varied tenures.

Fund regular expenses with periodic interest payouts
