Fixed deposits are low-risk investments that offer a fixed interest rate for a specified tenor. Here are some features of FDs and how they benefit parents and students:
Guaranteed Returns: FDs provide steady returns, helping parents confidently plan for substantial educational expenses like tuition fees or study materials
Flexible Tenor: Tenor options range from 7 days to 10 years, allowing parents to align investments with their childs education milestones
Higher Interest Rates: FD interest rates are typically higher than savings accounts, ensuring better growth of savings for college or university expenses
Interest Payout Options: Monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and annual payouts offer regular income to manage tuition fees and living costs depending on the amount deposited
Loan Against FD: Loans against FDs in financial emergencies ensure quick access to funds and provides financial security for unexpected educational expenses
For instance, if parents invest Rs. 1,00,000 in an FD with a 9% p.a. interest rate for a tenor of 5 years, they could earn Rs. 53,862 in interest. This means the total maturity amount would be Rs. 1,53,862. This predictable growth helps in planning for substantial educational expenses like tuition fees or accommodation. Parents can use an FD calculator to estimate the maturity amount and total interest earned.
With these options, parents can easily book a fixed deposit that suits their financial goals. They can browse FD interest rates on Bajaj Markets to find the most favourable investment for their childs future education needs. Individuals can visit the official website or download the app to get started with booking an FD.
