Safety and Stability

FDs ensure that you have money when you need them the most, so it secures your future.

With Bajaj Finance FD, you can even opt for a loan against FD or premature withdrawal of FD easily.
Different Types of Fixed Deposit with Bajaj Finance
Deposits can be categorised on the basis of interest frequency and sometimes on the basis of deposit frequencies.
Cumulative Fixed Deposits
With Cumulative FDs, a depositor will get the benefits of compound interest. Here the interest amount is compounded over the tenor of the deposit. Interest is payable at maturity along with the principal amount. The longer the tenor, the higher the interest rates. These FDs are beneficial for investors who have spare money that they will require in future.
Non-Cumulative Fixed Deposits
With Non-Cumulative FDs, you will have the choice of receiving interest payouts on frequent intervals i.e. monthly, half-yearly or monthly. Such FDs are ideal for dependents on their investments for living expenses such as retirees.
Systematic Deposit Plan (SDP)
If you are an investor who does not have an accumulated amount but want to invest to get FD benefits then Bajaj Finance’s SDP option is for you. SDP scheme is a monthly saving tool where you can start investing Rs.5000, monthly. Your deposits will earn assured interest like FDs. You need to choose investment tenor i.e. 12-6 months and the number of deposits you want to make during the tenor i.e. 6-48 deposits. If you are a salaried person, SDP scheme helps you to be a disciplined investor because you need to make a deposit on the same date every month.
