Fixed Deposit for Your Future!
What are
Corporate Fixed Deposits?
Fixed Deposit is the most popular investment choice in India. Like Banks, RBI permits selective
corporates & NBFCs to accept deposits for a fixed interest rate and tenure. Such deposits are
called Company or Corporate Fixed Deposit.
In these times of high market volatility and uncertain returns, Corporate FDs help you secure
your future financially with fixed, predictable returns. Investors can choose to earn regular
income with pay-out option or accumulate capital through cumulative option.
A number of rating agencies, including ICRA, CARE, and CRISIL, evaluate the credibility of these
term deposits. At Fin System, we offer investors access to “AAA”-rated corporations, which
stand for high safety and low risk. These company fixed deposits are governed by Section 58A
