If you are planning to get a Fixed Deposit (FD) then this news is for you. In fact, in the midst of the Kovid-19 pandemic, banks launched a special senior citizen fixed deposit (FD) scheme for senior citizens in May last year. 50 basis points are being given more interest to senior citizens. However, senior citizens are already 50 basis points more interested than the general public. That is, in a special FD scheme, senior citizens get 1% more interest on FD.
