For a better understanding on how you can leverage different features of the FD offered by Bajaj Finance Limited, the lending and investment arm of Bajaj Finserv Group to grow your savings, read on.
Augment your savings safely and at a rate of up to 8.35%
To save successfully and steadily, it’s best to utilise a low-risk avenue and with the Bajaj Finance FD you get just this. It carries the ICRA MAAA and CRISIL FAAA ratings. These are the highest in their respective categories and point to timely interest payouts. Alongside safety, you get interest rates that run up to 8.10% and 8.35% for regular customers and senior citizens respectively. However, to truly leverage the rates here, invest for a tenor of at least 36 months and opt for interest payouts at maturity only.

Save with monthly deposits starting Rs. 5000
As a young professional or someone wanting to allocate their savings to different vehicles, you can make the most of Bajaj Finance FD interest rates by making small monthly deposits of Rs. 5,000 or more, through the Systematic Deposit Plan. Each contribution creates a new FD that accrues interest at the rates prevailing on the date of deposit. Moreover, you can invest over a flexible 12- to 60-month tenor while automating contributions through a NACH mandate. To forecast your earnings simply enter the contribution amount, tenor, and number of contributions, between 6 and 48, into the SDP calculator.
Ladder your FDs and work towards goals with the Multi-deposit facility
A smart way to invest here is to use the Multi-deposit feature to open several deposits, instead of just one, through a single cheque. You can set a different tenor for each FD and in doing so, earmark them for different goals. Similarly, in case of a financial crunch you get the option of breaking just one or two deposits and keeping the rest intact when you choose this option.
Opt for FD Auto-renewal to grow your savings at an enhanced rate
Apart from addressing timely liquidity through the Multi-deposit feature, you can build a reliable emergency corpus through the Auto-renewal facility. Here, you can reinvest your proceeds without manual intervention through an instruction given at the time of opening the FD. By renewing your FD, you enjoy a greater yield, thanks to compounding of interest and FD renewal bonuses. Currently, the renewal bonus is a 0.10% interest rate hike.
Multiply your earnings in India through an NRI fixed deposit
Bajaj Finance helps a wide range of customer types grow their savings and if you are an NRI earning rental income, for instance, you can diversify your portfolio through an NRI Fixed Deposit. You earn guaranteed returns, at attractive NRI FD rates of up to 8.35%, and can claim tax benefits under the applicable Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) as well. All you need is an NRO account to get started.
Apart from the fact that this FD offers a bouquet of features to build your savings, note that investing here is as easy as 1-2-3: To book your Bajaj Finance online FD, fill out a form, correspond with an executive, and make the payment. What’s more, at select locations you can invest your savings in an FD by simply using your debit card to transfer funds. This allows you to benefit from the FD’s features in absolutely no time at all!
