Fixed deposits in banks are considered to be among the safest investment alternatives since they are not affected by market fluctuations. Investors can put a large sum of money into a fixed deposit, which provides guaranteed returns in the form of interest rates. Investors have the option of receiving their payouts in a variety of ways. For example, if an investor wants the money to satisfy their regular expenditures, he or she can select the non-cumulative option or can have the principal amount plus interest at the time of maturity through the cumulative option. Normally fixed deposits come with a tenure starting from 7 days to 10 years. But if you have short term goals and want to invest in fixed deposits, let's say about 1 to 3 years, then you are in the right place. Here we have compiled the top 5 banks which are currently giving higher interest rates on 1 to 3 year fixed deposits.
