Jana Small Finance Bank has announced a special anniversary Fixed Deposit Interest Rate of 8.85% for senior citizen customers and 8.15% for regular customers. These interest rates will be available for an FD of 500 days.
The interest offered on the special 500-day term deposits to senior citizens by Jana Bank is higher than the current interest rate applicable to SCSS (Senior Citizen Savings Scheme) deposits. SCSS is currently offering 8% interest rate to senior citizens. However, tax benefits offered by the SCSS scheme make it better than many fixed deposit schemes offered by banks.

Our special deposit rate is to encourage more clients to experience our Banks products and services. We wish to serve the large segment of clients who would like to get fixed income from a bank.”
