The Executive Vice President of the Fixed Deposits and Investments, Bajaj Finance Ltd. said “Earlier we used to change rates almost once in 6 months, but this year we have changed it more frequently. The reason for the change is the increase in repo rates by RBI and other reasons. However, this time there has been no change in all the schemes. This time with an increase of around 25 basis points, we are also launching the scheme for a new tenure of 39 months.”
During the pandemic, the Reserve Bank of India cut the interest rates on fixed deposits. Despite regulating the interest rates at banks and NBFC, the former was giving better rates. Bajaj Finance FDs are rated with CRISIL AAA and STABLE and ICRA and AAA.
