Liquid funds or savings accounts? Where to park your money for better returns
Savings accounts will fetch you an annualised return of 4 per cent-6 per cent depending on the bank that you are associated with. However, with the growing popularity of mutual funds, liquid funds are emerging as a good alternative for parking surplus money.

State-run Vijaya Bank today announced a reduction in term deposit interest rates by 25 basis points.

The move is a result of the introduction of MCLR based lending rate (Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate) with effect from April 1, 2016, the bank said.

The reduction in deposit rates will be applicable for term deposits of different slabs from 91 days to above five years maturity, it said in a release.

The new deposit rates will be effective April 12, it said.

Now the bank said it offers “attractive” rate of interest of 7.50 per cent on deposits of one year maturity.

Vijaya Bank has a network of 1,863 branches and 1,651 ATMs catering to the needs of over 14 million customers.

The total business surpassed Rs 2,16,000 crore as on March 31.
