SBI Special Fixed Deposit Schemes: Investors who are not willing to take risk on their investment but still want to earn a handsome return have only a few days left to deposit capital in two of the best special fixed deposit (FD) schemes offered by State Bank Of India (SBI). These two special FD programs are SBI Amrit Kalash and SBI Amrit Vrishti. SBI, India's largest public sector bank, has extended the deadline for the fixed income scheme many times before. But, it seems, the public sector lender is not considering any further extension in the deadline.
SBI Amrit Vrishti Scheme and SBI Amrit Kalash Scheme
The specific tenure schemes of “444 days” (Amrit Vrishti) and “400 days” (Amrit Kalash) are special fixed deposit schemes currently being offered by SBI. This is an ideal investment option for individuals who want to earn a good fixed interest in a short period. The deadline to deposit these two special FD schemes is March 31. So, citizens willing to invest their funds in a risk-free investment instrument have a few weeks to do so.
Now, let's take a look at salient features of the schemes, interest rates and other details.
SBI Amrit Kalash FD Scheme Features
SBI Amrit Kalash Fixed Deposit Scheme is a unique deposit option designed for Indian and NRI customers. It has flexible interest payment options that allow monthly, quarterly or half-yearly payments.
