Bank of Baroda Special FD: To mark 75 years of India’s independence, several banks have been launching special schemes. Jumping into the bandwagon, public sector lender Bank of Baroda on Tuesday launched a special fixed deposit scheme, the Baroda Tiranga Deposit Scheme. Under this, the Bank of Baroda will offer two tenor buckets of 444 days and 555 days, where investors will get up to 6 per cent interest rates.
“The Baroda Tiranga Deposits are available in two tenor buckets – offering interest rates of 5.75 per cent p.a. for 444 days and 6.00 per cent p.a. for 555 days. The scheme opens on 16th August up till 31st December, 2022 and is applicable on retail deposits below Rs 2 crore,” said Bank of Baroda in a statement.
Senior citizens will earn 0.50 per cent interest rates over this, while non-callable deposits will get 0.15 per cent extra interest.
“As India marks 75 years of independence, we are delighted to give consumers one more reason to celebrate. The Baroda Tiranga Deposit Scheme offers a higher rate of interest and the flexibility to choose from two tenures, backed by one of India’s leading and most trusted banks,” Ajay K. Khurana, Executive Director, Bank of Baroda, said in the statement.
The lender had recently hiked its fixed deposit interest rates on general tenors.
