For fixed deposits, the interest rates vary depending on the tenure of the deposit. For a 1-year fixed deposit, the interest rate is 6.50% p.a. For a 5-year fixed deposit, the interest rate is 7.80% p.a.

The move by RBL Bank to increase interest rates on savings accounts is in line with the trend of other banks in the country. The RBI has been increasing the repo rate in recent months to control inflation. This has led to banks increasing their lending rates, which has also put pressure on their margins. To protect their margins, banks are increasing interest rates on savings accounts.

However, it is important to note that the interest rates on savings accounts are still very low. The average interest rate on savings accounts in India is around 3% p.a. This means that the real rate of return on savings accounts is negative, after taking into account inflation.

If you are looking for a better return on your savings, you may want to consider investing in fixed deposits, which offer higher interest rates. However, it is important to compare the interest rates offered by different banks before investing. You should also factor in the lock-in period and other terms and conditions of the fixed deposit before making an investment.

This gold price is not permanent.

This gold price is not permanent, but when people think of a problem in the country, they buy gold first. It is good to buy as much as needed, but buying too much is foolish. When there is a famine, the things they buy are food, clothing, and money. If we don't have money, it is difficult to sell gold for urgent needs. Gold price Gold market crash history   Will there ever be a situation where gold , which has been rising very, very rapidly in a short period of time, will become a commodity? Studies on gold say that it may come. If we look at the price of gold over the past 50 years, rather than just 10 or 20 years, it seems that what you are saying has happened. That is, in September 1980, the price of 1 ounce of gold touched $666. 19 years later, in September 1999, the same 1 ounce of gold was sold for $255. A 62 percent decline.
