Central Bank of India Fixed Deposit (FD) Rates

A fixed deposit (FD) provides depositors with a steady and higher rate of interest until maturity as compared to a regular savings account. Fixed deposit schemes are popular investment instruments because they are immune to market fluctuations as compared to other alternatives available. 

Central Bank of India offers competitive interest rates for a range of deposit periods to suit your needs.

Latest Update

RBI has announced a new rule applicable to unclaimed, matured FD accounts. That is the funds in an unclaimed, matured FD account will attract an interest rate as applicable to the savings account or the contracted rate of the matured FD, whichever is lower.
