Using this with SBI's current FD rates
SBI's FD rates vary by tenure, typically ranging from around 6.5% to 7.25% for general depositors depending on term length, with senior citizens usually getting an additional 0.50 percentage points. Most SBI FDs compound quarterly \u2014 select that option above for an accurate maturity estimate.
SBI also offers special tenure FDs (like \"Amrit Kalash\" or similar limited-period schemes) that sometimes carry a premium rate over standard FDs \u2014 if you're comparing a special scheme, make sure to use its specific advertised rate rather than the standard FD rate.
