Bank Interest Rate Comparison Tool

Bank Interest Rate Comparison tool highlights a critical but often-overlooked factor in FD investing: banks offer different rates for the same tenure, and these differences compound to significant money over time. On ₹10 lakh FD for 5 years, a mere 0.5% rate difference (6.5% vs 7%) compounds to ₹2.5-3 lakh difference in final maturity. Many savers default to their primary bank (out of inertia), missing superior rates elsewhere. This calculator lets you compare up to 3 banks simultaneously, revealing the 'best bank for your money.' In India's competitive banking landscape, rates vary not just by bank but by tenure, customer type (senior citizen gets 0.5% extra), and deposit amount (premium deposits ₹10L+ sometimes get higher rates). RBI FD rules (DICGC insurance up to ₹5L per bank) encourage rate shopping—you can split large FDs across multiple banks for both safety AND returns. The practice of 'bank shopping' before investing in FD is standard among savvy investors. Many dedicated investors monitor FD rates across 8-10 banks weekly on aggregator websites, updating their allocation based on rate changes. This calculator simplifies that process for quick comparisons.
