95% of the Indians prefer to invest in Fixed Deposit to generate low risk interest income on the deposit.
Now, the interest rate is around 5.5% and in Saving Bank, it is 3%.
In this #thread 🧵, let's discuss some asset class where you can generate more returns than this.
⚡️Sweep-in Facility
You can create Fixed Deposit in your Bank and use the FD Funds whenever balance in your bank account is low.
With this, you would be earning FD Interest rates which is higher than the Saving Bank Interest rates.
⚡️Fixed Deposit for Higher Duration
You can plan out your investment and park money in High Duration Fixed Deposit. Interest Rate of Higher Duration FD will be more.
⚡️National Savings Certificate (NSC)
If you are planning a higher duration Fixed Deposit and if you don't need that fund for emergency, then you can park that money in NSC.
The interest rate in NSC is 6.8% which is compounded annually.
Lock-in period for NSC is 5 years.
⚡️Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP)
Just like NSC, KVP works, but it has a higher lock-in period of 10 years.
The interest rate in KVP is 6.9% which is compounded annually.
⚡️Provident Fund (PF)
If you are a working employee, then you can increase your PF amount that will get deducted annually.
Some company has Voluntary Provident Funds which you can use.
Interest Rate in PF is 8.1%.
Lock-in period is 5 years.
⚡️Provident Fund (PF)
If you are a working employee, then you can increase your PF amount that will get deducted annually.
Some company has Voluntary Provident Funds which you can use.

⚡️India Government Bond
These bond is issued by the central government and is the safest asset class among all.

Some of them also give higher interest rate or yield compared to Fixed Deposit.
