The term deposits of this NBFC are rated AAA by Crisil, ICRA. Check the latest interest rates
Amid volatile market conditions due to macroeconomic uncertainties, investors needed an investment pool that was risk-free and could provide guaranteed returns. In the market risk scenario, fixed deposit systems have emerged as a sensible option as hikes in repo rates over the past three policies have prompted banks and NBFCs to raise their FD rates. That said, there is one NBFC in particular whose term deposits are rated “AAA/Stable” by major rating agencies like CRISIL and ICRA. This Bajaj Group-backed financial services provider offers FD rates as high as 7.75%, which is anti-inflation. At the same time, the company also offers a systematic deposit plan from ₹5,000, with the highest rate being 7.65%. Seniors earn extra interest rates on their FDs compared to others.
According to the website, a person can open a fixed deposit account with a minimum amount of ₹15,000, while the systematic deposit plan starts at ₹5,000. An investor can get maximum returns on special terms such as 15 months, 18 months, 22 months, 33 months and 44 months. While seniors benefit from an additional tariff advantage of 0.25% on their DF.
There is a CRISIL ‘AAA’ and ICRA ‘AAA’ stability rating on the FD program. This is the highest security rating of the two agencies.
The company’s FD rates on some warrants are higher than the rate of inflation. India’s consumer price index rose to 6.71% in July from 7.01% in June. Inflation continues to stay above the RBI comfort zone of 6% for the seventh consecutive month.
