Not getting good Returns? Here are 4 Fixed Deposits that Offer Yields Of 9% to 11%



Reserve Bank of India has been on cutting spree since last one & half year. Last week, it cut repo rate by 0.25% making it 5th straight cut. Banks have been following this rate cut and interest rates on fixed deposits are also declining. This has put many people specially conservative investors like Senior Citizen who rely on interest earnings to fund monthly expenses.  

We have researched on options available in market for avenues that yield good returns. We have narrowed down to options mentioned below. Note we have mentioned “yield” as yield is the final return a depositor gets per year from his deposit. Higher the yield better for depositor.

What are yields?

First let us explain why it is important to look at yield. Most financial institution including banks tend to compound interest rates every quarter. So, let us say you deposit Rs 1, 00,000 at 8% per annum and the bank compounds the interest every quarter. Let us assume you deposited the amount on Jan 1, 2019. So, for the first quarter ending March 31, 2019 your interest roughly would be Rs 2,000. So for the next quarter ending June 30, 2019, your deposit would grow to Rs 1, 02,000.

This means higher the frequency if compounding, higher your corpus would grow. Let us now take a look at 4 Fixed Deposits with higher yields.

Mahindra Finance

If you invest in the fixed deposits of Mahindra Finance, your yield can go as high as 9.65 per cent on a 40 month deposit. On a 33-month deposit, the yield turns out to be 9.40 per cent.

This is for the cumulative scheme only. So, if you invest Rs 5,000, after 40 months you get Rs 6,608, which is 9.65% return.

In fact, the deposits are rated as AAA by the rating agencies. This shows relative safety on these deposits.

Shriram Transport Finance Company

Shriram Transport Finance offers Fixed Deposit with high yield. Whats more is that it offers monthly compounding which mean better prospect for depositors. In fact, the 5 year deposits which offer an interest rate of 8.88 per cent with monthly rests, give you a yield of an impressive 11.13 per cent. This is under the cumulative scheme only.

For a 48-month deposit the interest rate offered is 8.65 per cent, while the yield is 10.29 per cent.

Jana Small Finance Bank deposits

Jana Small Finance Bank was granted license a few years ago, to operate as a small finance bank.

It offers FD with the interest of 8.25 per cent on a 3 year to 5 year deposit, taking the yield on the same to as much as 10.09 per cent on the 5 year tenure. A double digit yield is not common these days.

Suryoday Small Finance Bank FD

In this deposit, the deposit holders are offered an interest rate of 8.75 per cent for the 2-3 year deposit. The annualized yield here works to slightly above 9 per cent. Senior citizens are offered interest rates, where yields can go as high as 9.58 per cent.

Note, We urge depositors to research on rating on Fixed Deposits first and consult their financial advisors before committing their money.
