Private lender HDFC Bank has launched two special fixed deposit (FD) schemes, which will be offering interest rates of up to 7.20 per cent for general customers and 7.25 per cent for senior citizens.

The bank has floated new interest rates of 7 per cent and above on all deposits maturing between 18 months and 10 years. At present, the bank is offering interest rates ranging from 3 per cent to 7.25 per cent for general customers on deposits maturing in 7 days to 10 years. On the other hand, senior citizens will earn an interest rate of 3.5 per cent to 7.75 per cent on the same deposits. These rates are effective from May 29, 2023.

“Presenting, HDFC Bank Special Edition Fixed Deposits. Enjoy HIGHER FD Rates @7.20% on tenure of 35 months and @7.25% on a tenure of 55 months. What's more? Senior Citizen benefits 0.50% EXTRA!...So Hurry! Valid for Limited Period only,” stated the HDFC Bank website.

Besides, the private lender has also extended its special senior citizen fixed deposit to July 7, 2023. The special FD scheme was launched in May 2020, which was launched during the pandemic to offer attractive rates to senior customers.
