Single FD vs. Multiple FDs: Which Offers Better Returns and Security?
•Fixed Deposits (FDs) are a popular and safe investment option, especially for salaried individuals and senior citizens, due to guaranteed returns and ease of setup.
•The choice between a single large FD and multiple smaller FDs depends on financial goals, liquidity needs, and risk tolerance.
•If interest rates are consistent, the total maturity amount will be the same whether you invest in one large FD or multiple smaller FDs.
•A single large FD is easier to track but breaking it for partial needs can lead to greater penalties and only 5 lakh rupees are insured per bank.
•Multiple smaller FDs offer flexibility, allow investment across different banks for potentially higher interest, and provide better insurance coverage (up to 5 lakh per bank per FD) in case of bank failure.
