Deposits?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Investors who are fearful of losing their money can consider a fixed deposit. <\/strong>However, in recent years, various fixed deposit options have become more popular. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at what&#8217;s going on. With a set deposit, it&#8217;s an ideal choice for the prudent investor. A lump sum deposit is all that is required, and you&#8217;ll receive a guaranteed interest rate for a predetermined period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/open-account?c=PR4768\" style=\"border-radius:50px;background-color:#e4fa00;color:#0f0027\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Open Zerodha Account Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the value of a fixed deposit is not affected by changes in the market. <strong>As the financial environment has changed, people are willing to take more risks in exchange for higher returns that are also tax-advantageous. <\/strong>In addition to the fixed deposit, there are a variety of alternative investment possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_Indians_Prefer_Fixed_Deposits\"><\/span><strong>Why Do Indians Prefer Fixed Deposits?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>According to a SEBI poll, investing in bank FDs is preferred by 95 percent of Indian households, whereas investing in mutual funds and equities is preferred by fewer than 10 percent.<\/strong> It guarantees a specified rate of return while protecting the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A large majority of Indians would not invest if there were no choices that guaranteed a profit. As a result, at the end of the month, if there was a surplus, it would be kept undisturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For fixed deposits, banks provide the option of receiving interest either on a regular basis or at the time of maturity. Because of this, an FD is an excellent way to mobilize your funds. Investors who want solely assured profits and have a low-risk tolerance should choose an FD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What are Fixed Income Investments?
