NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) is available for individuals, firms, or corporate bodies with accounts in the bank, facilitating electronic transfer of funds to any other NEFT-enabled bank branch in the country.

Yes, our bank deposits are generally considered a safe investment. This safety is primarily due to deposit insurance schemes provided by government agencies, which protect a certain amount per depositor in case of financial volatility. Additionally, we are subjected to stringent financial controls and oversight, further enhancing the safety of deposits. However, while safe, the returns on deposits, particularly savings accounts, are usually lower compared to riskier investments like stocks or mutual funds.

Whether a deposit is better than a mutual fund depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. Deposits offer safety and guaranteed returns but typically with lower interest rates. Mutual funds, on the other hand, have the potential for higher returns but come with greater risk and market volatility. For short-term goals or if you prioritize capital preservation, deposits might be preferable. For long-term goals with a higher risk appetite, mutual funds could be more suitable.

Yes, we allow you to open a joint deposit account with one or more individuals, subject to terms and conditions. This means you and the other person (like a family member, spouse, or business partner) can both manage and have access to the money in the account. Both of you can deposit or withdraw money, and the terms of the account usually apply to both parties equally. It's a common way for couples or business partners to manage their finances together.

Advantages of fixed deposits

Fixed deposits (FDs) are a secure and straightforward way to grow your savings. They offer higher interest rates compared to savings accounts, making them ideal for risk-averse investors. FDs have a fixed tenure, which can range from a few days to several years, allowing you to plan your financial goals with certainty. The interest earned can be a steady source of income, especially for retirees.

The interest rate on fixed deposits is fixed at the time of deposit and remains constant throughout the tenure, unaffected by market fluctuations. It's typically compounded quarterly, enhancing the potential earnings. Senior citizens often receive higher rates, providing an additional benefit.

Do research and compare rates before opening a fixed deposit online. Consider ladder strategies for liquidity and interest rate advantages. Don't withdraw your FD prematurely as it may attract penalty charges and impact the interest earnings.
