While the monthly payout option in FDs offers a secure option to get regular income, it is important to ensure that you get an adequate amount. For this, you need to compare FD rates various issuers offer.
For instance, investing ₹6 Lakhs at an interest rate of 8% will generate a monthly payout of ₹4,000 for a tenor of 5 years. Similarly, if you book an FD for the same amount and tenor at a higher rate of 9.50%, you can earn up to ₹4,750.
So, comparing rates will help you select the best FD plan that lets you maximise your earnings.
