I'm recently checking out all the Fixed deposits out there for saving my emergency fund. Among everyone Shriram Fixed deposit provides max interest rates? Is it worth it? Or any other suggestions for the best FD?
Open a Kotak 811 Account. They have autosweep fd called Activmoney. Anything above 25k is put into an FD with 7% interest and no locking or penalties. When your bank balance goes below 10k it is automatically withdrawn.
Wow, this feature is cool.
Will need to open an account with Kotak, just for this feature.
Other banks have it too. Check for sweep in FD. But I am not sure about the sweep out and sweep in threshold.
Shriram finance? “The group had its beginning in chit funds business and later on entered the lending and insurance businesses.” 😅 short term ok but not for long term
I think stable money is the right platform to answer all of your queries related to fd, there you can compare all banks fd interest rates, whether they are providing insurance or not, personally I like the application and I am using it for my senior citizen parents for better returns as well. In case you are planning to install Please consider using my link, we both will get Amazon vouchers.

Sure
Emergency fund needs to be super liquid. Corporate FD (like Shriram) is not liquid at all, sometimes they have lock-in as well. Rather keep in FD with private sector bank where you can premature withdraw immediately into your bank account within a few minutes on mobile app. If you generally asking for investment advise to park your excess funds, then these corporate bonds are good enough. Haven’t heard of a default in the retail market in recent years - authorities won’t allow retail investors money to be hurt in any way.
Yup
