In this Diwali season, if you are investing in fixed deposits, it is crucial to compare the FD interest rates offered by different banks. However, before investing in the FDs, check the interest rates other banks offer in both the private and public sectors. If you already have invested in FDs, opening an account in a bank that offers a higher rate of interest is no harm. This can lead to a considerably higher income over a long period of time. For example, an extra 1 per cent interest on an FD amounting to Rs lakh for 3 years can lead to an extra income of Rs 15,000. 

It should be noted that some of the banks typically offer higher rate of interest on their long-term fixed deposits but offer a lower rate when the FD tenure is short.
