Want to Earn Higher Returns? Invest in NBFC’s Fixed Deposit

If you are planning to save your money, then get yourself familiar with the fact that it is not possible to earn higher returns over savings account. Besides, you can only earn returns annually plus the returns are also low. People usually hesitate when it comes to investments. The general perception is – investment involves risk. But when we consider the other side of the coin, high risk helps you to yield higher returns. In some cases, even with moderate or zero risks, you can still earn considerably high returns. However, the room for such an investment option is very narrow, and there are not many investment avenues that offer both – safety and high returns, except fixed deposit.

A reason why Indians prefer FD more over other investment options is (a) They are safe, (b) They offer higher returns and (c) They don’t depend upon market conditions. In a scenario where investments are market linked – fluctuations are bound to happen. A working case individual with a fixed salary usually doesn’t have the courage to play this game of ice and fire. Thus, fixed deposit is most resorted to earning a profit without being dependent upon the market situation.

The investment strategies of working class individuals have been seriously affected. A major reason for that is demonetization. A cut down of repo rates has affected the investment plan seriously. Apart from this, the announcement of Budget 2017, has seemed to upset many new investors. Since the interest rates on this investment avenue have dropped down significantly, many are posed with a question – whether to invest or not? Given the current situation and all the hesitation pertaining to it, still there are options where you can earn higher benefits on your investments.
