Fixed Deposit (FD) is a safe way of saving without market risks. An FD lets you have a safe investment along with gaining interest on it.
In FD one has to deposit a lumpsum amount in the bank for a fixed period of time on a fixed rate of interest. Once the deposit reaches the maturity term, the investor will receive the original amount of investment with the interest.
FDs are considered beneficial for achieving long-term financial goals as they are considered stable and assure growth in the investment.
