Fixed Deposits are one of the most commonly used methods by people to invest their money. A fixed deposit is the simplest method that can easily provide people with guaranteed returns. Senior citizens, who get their retirement benefits like the PF amount or through any other sale of assets, can use the option of investing in FDs for earning interest on it. In addition, Mahindra Finance allows provisions for making fixed deposits to customers under its Samruddhi fixed deposit scheme. It is even more beneficial for senior citizen customers because the Mahindra Finance FD Rates for senior citizens is higher than the regular FD rates.
