Bajaj Finance Ltd., the lending and investment arm of Bajaj Finserv, has increased its Fixed Deposit (FD) rate of interest.
The company has increased FD rates for senior citizens to up to 8.85 per cent, existing loan & FD customers to up to 8.75 per cent and new customers to up to 8.50 per cent. These new rates are offered on an annual basis, applicable under the cumulative and non-cumulative payout schemes on a 36-60 months tenor.
For the same schemes and tenure, the new Fixed Deposit customers would get 8.50 per cent instead of 8.40 per cent earlier. The existing loan and FD customers are offered a rate of 8.75 per cent which previously was 8.65 per cent. The rate of interest has thus recorded a rise of 0.10 per cent on a tenor of 36-60 months across all customer categories.
For the recently launched special tenor scheme of 15 months and minimum FD size of Rs 1 lakh, the FD rate of interest would be up to 8.05 per cent for new customers and 8.40 per cent for senior citizens.
Upon renewal, senior citizens will now earn a higher rate of interest of 9.10 per cent which previously was 9.00 per cent and new customers will be offered rate of interest of 8.75 per cent compared to 8.65 per cent prior, for a tenor ranging between 36 to 60 months.
