Nothing as far as Bank FD’s are concerned. However, one can invest in Equity Mutual funds, preferbly large cap funds, which gives a minimum of 10% to 15% returns.If you want to play safe then Debt funds are your best bet, which offer anywhere between 6-10 percent.

None of ICICI, HDFC, AXIS and SBI offer > 5.5 % for 365 days.
So 6.35 for 1 year is good.
FD upto 5 LACs from one bank is secured by government.
I would probably give this try.

I think all banks give securities in FD for 1lakh only if anything happens.
Better to keep the money in mutual funds and diversify the portfolio.

No thanks.
During FD redemption I don't want to see "better luck next time"

Cred mint seems better at 9% .. but it’s P2P not everyone going to trust it. Also min investment is 1lakh
https://www.desidime.com/news/google-pay-fd-fixed-deposit-launched-in-india?page=1#post_7896212
FD is too low. Mutual funds anyday better. And it gives you flexibility to withdraw or add more.

Dont even think of P2P, not even Cred Mint. Even your capital will be at risk.

Also for who are thinking to invest on this apps, I would suggest you to directly invest with banks than these apps.
These guys are just facilitators and will not provide any sort of help if there are any issues.

I think it will work on cred. Since cred has members whose credit score is 700 or 750 above I guess. This mint borrow and loan will be inclusive to its members only! Cred also keeping a portion around 7 % since they provide loans at 16%.. still 1lakh a big capital to even try. Not betting any money

Bajaj Finserv FD is also a good option with 6.75% interest.

Yes, That is much better considering Bajaj Finserv is very much profitable company but only drawback with that is, You can’t take premature exit from FD otherwse there is certain penalty on other side there is no penalty on Equitas.
