Fixed Deposits remain one of the most popular investment instruments in India, largely due to the low risk and guaranteed returns. Most Savings Accounts offer interest at 3.5 – 4% p.a. whereas Fixed Deposits can provide interest at a rate of up to 9.20% p.a. Hence, those with idle cash in their bank accounts can invest in Fixed Deposits to earn higher returns.
Here is everything you need to know about the best Fixed Deposit Schemes available for Indian citizens in 2019:

As can be seen, currently small finance banks are offering higher interest rates than the commercial banks. While some customers may be more comfortable with commercial banks than Small Finance Banks, they should note that, like commercial banks, depositors in Small Finance Banks are also covered under the depositor insurance program of Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation or DICGC. This means that bank deposits of up to Rs. 1 lakh, including fixed, savings, current and recurring deposits, per depositor per bank, are covered by insurance, in the event of bank failure for small finance bank as well as commercial banks. The depositors are covered for the same amount with both small finance banks and commercial banks; hence, the risk of investing in a fixed deposit remains the same for both.
We would, therefore, recommend customers to choose a Fixed Deposit which offers the highest interest rate, whether it’s from a commercial bank or a small finance bank.

How to choose the Best Fixed Deposit Scheme?
Following are some important aspects that every FD investor should consider to maximize returns while investing in a fixed deposit:
1. FD Rate– The rate of interest for a specific tenure is of primary importance for depositors. Several banks provide high FD interest rates for different tenure options. To choose the best fixed deposit available (on the basis of high FD interest rate & tenure that you want to stay invested), you should first have a specific financial goal in mind.
Once you have decided a certain financial goal, you should look for a bank providing the best FD interest rate in the tenure you can stay invested in.
2. Tenure– As mentioned above, the time for which you can deposit your money is an important aspect, while choosing the best fixed deposit. Banks provide fixed deposits for tenure ranging from 7 days to 10 years. You should always invest in a fixed deposit and select deposit tenure depending upon your financial goal.
Another thing that you can consider while choosing the deposit tenure is the interest rate regime. If you think in the future there will be a rising interest rate regime (i.e. interest rates will rise in the future), then you should go for a shorter FD tenure. And, in case of a falling interest rate regime (i.e. interest rates will decrease in the future), you should invest your hard-earned money for a longer period of time.
3. Credibility – There are a number of banks that provide higher FD interest rates but might indicate some risk. It is always advisable to make deposits in scheduled banks and NBFCs that are certified by ICRA, CRISIL, etc.
Also, if you want to invest in Corporate Fixed Deposits, you should consider company funds based on the credit ratings on deposits provided. Company Deposits with high credit ratings (for instance: FAAA, FAA) are considered safe. These ratings indicate a degree of safety regarding the timely payment of deposit amount (principal) and interest.
4. Payout – The payout option provided by your bank also plays an important role while selecting the best fixed deposit scheme. Banks provide 2 types of fixed deposits in India – Cumulative and Non-Cumulative Fixed Deposits.
Under a Cumulative FD Scheme, you will not be paid interest over quarterly, half yearly or yearly. FD interest under this scheme will be compounded every quarter, half year or year and will be added back to your principal amount, which will be paid at the end of the deposit tenure.
Under a Non-Cumulative FD Scheme, you will be paid every quarter, half-year or year depending upon the payout option you opt for. This FD scheme is best suited for senior citizens, widows who want regular cash inflows. Regular investors can opt for cumulative FDs for the compounding interest rates.
Taxation of Fixed Deposits
Unlike savings accounts that offer lower interest rates, fixed deposits are fully taxable. Below mentioned are some important aspects related to taxation on FDs:
- Banks deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on fixed deposits at a rate of 10%.
- In case a depositor has not submitted his PAN, he is taxed at 20%.
- In case the bank has deducted tax at a rate of 10% but you fall in a higher tax bracket, you have to pay the additional tax.
- You should check Form 26AS while filing your returns to know the TDS deducted by the bank on your FDs. You can then pay any additional amount due or claim a refund as the case may be.
