3 recurring deposits of 2 years promising over 8% returns to senior citizens

At the time of opening an RD account, the applicable interest rate remains fixed throughout the chosen tenure  (Mint)

Jana Small Finance Bank

The recurring deposit interest rates of Jana Small Finance Bank are in effect as of June 15, 2022. The tenor of a recurring deposit should be at least 6 months and no more than 120 months. A minimum deposit of Rs. 100 is required to create an RD account with Jana Small Finance Bank, and subsequent installments must be multiples of Rs. 100. For RDs that mature in two years, the bank is giving elderly citizens an interest rate of 8.05%, which is significantly higher than the current retail inflation rate of 6.71%. If the recurring deposit is prematurely withdrawn, a 0.5% penalty will be added to the effective interest rate for the period that the deposit has been maintained with the bank by the account holder.
