Increased the interest rate in fixed deposits by SBI and Axis Bank

Fixed Deposit (FD) is one of the most popular investment instruments in our country, largely due to ease of investment and guaranteed returns. The interest rate of a fixed deposit is determined by the principal amount invested and the tenure of the investment. If you also like investing in fixed deposits then there is good news for you. India's largest public sector bank State Bank of India (SBI) and private sector bank 'Axis Bank' have increased interest rates. Both SBI and Axis Bank banks have made this increase in interest rates in fixed deposits of less than Rs 2 crore.
