On January 13, IDBI Bank launched a new Fixed Deposit (FD) scheme called the “Chinrajevi Super Senior Citizen FD Scheme.”
This scheme is specifically designed for senior citizens aged 80 years and above.
It offers four different tenure options with higher interest rates for senior citizens compared to regular FD schemes.
Interest Rates and Tenure Options
The interest rates for this scheme are as follows:
7.90% for a 375-day deposit
8% for a 444-day deposit
8.05% for a 555-day deposit
7.85% for a 700-day deposit
These rates are applicable only for the “Utsav FD” scheme duration, and premature withdrawals are allowed.
