Fix deposit is among the most trusted investment policies for long terms. Most popular among the elder generations, the deposits are most secure and easily manageable through banks and post offices. Although the interest rates in fixed deposits have lowered in the past decade there are schemes offered by both the public sector and private banks which offer a handsome return over up to 8.5 per cent for senior citizens. 

FDs are most preferred for the senior citizens because most of the banks offer them 0.5 per cent higher interest that general deposit holders.
