Introduction of Fixed Deposits:

A fixed deposit (FD) is a financial instrument provided by Indian banks and Non-Banking Financial Corporations which provides investors with a higher rate of interest than a regular savings account, until the given maturity date. It may or may not require the creation of a separate account. They are considered to be very safe investments. Term deposits in India are used to denote a larger class of investments with varying levels of liquidity.
