14-11-2022 14:08:45In the era of increasing inflation, investing in fixed deposit is no longer just zero-risk investment but they are emerging to be a profitable and assured return investment option. Several banks and NBFCs have been increasing their interest rates with the consistent increase in repo rates. While people are waiting for the interest rate to reach as high as 9% and above, investing in Shriram cumulative FD can help you earn an effective yield up to 10.91%*p.a.
The fact that the repo rates have been on high rise, which hasn’t been the case for the past decade, has led investors to proactively invest in FDs. With increase in interest rates, the impression of fixed deposits as just a low-risk investment has changed. Fixed deposits are not just a low-risk investment but also a profitable investment option. So, here we are revealing the top know-hows that would help you maximise your returns and yield an interest rate of up to 10.91%*p.a. with a Shriram Cumulative FD.
In a cumulative fixed deposit, the interest is compounded each year and is accumulated until maturity. At the end of the term, the principal amount and interest are paid together. Each year's interest is added to the principal amount. Compounding the interest rates helps us getting the best maturity amount for your fixed deposit plan.
Investing in a Fixed Deposit is the most preferred form of investment. An investor needs to make a lump sum amount as a deposit, select their tenure range, the interest rate pay-out, and eventually, the funds are accumulated over a period of time. At the time of maturity, the principal amount and the compounded interest are provided to the investor. The best part about investing in a cumulative FD is that it is a one-time investment wherein the depositor gets assured returns with an attractive interest rate.
Fixed Deposits investment involves zero risk and comes with assured returns. Shriram FDs are rated "[ICRA]AA+ (Stable)" by ICRA and "IND AA+/Stable" by India Ratings and Research. Investing in a fixed deposit provides a reliable source of income. FD investments are completely risk-free as market fluctuations do not have any effect on fixed deposits.
Fixed Deposits have a flexible tenure and help in having cash liquidity. One can invest in a cumulative fixed deposit anywhere between 12 months to 60 months. The significant benefit in applying for a fixed deposit is that at times of financial crisis, one can opt for premature withdrawal, which is subject to a nominal penalty or can take a loan against their FD.
Cumulative fixed deposits are well known for their returns. Investing in a cumulative fixed deposit can help maximise your fixed deposit maturity amount. The interest rate is accumulated over a period of time. At the time of maturity, it is credited back to the investor with an effective yield added to the FD returns.
The best part about a cumulative FD Plan is that it is the perfect choice if you are looking forward to increasing your interest income. Investing in a Shriram cumulative FD for maximum tenure can get you an effective yield of up to 10.91%*p.a. inclusive of the additional 0.50%*p.a. and 0.10%*p.a. interest benefit for Senior Citizens and Women Depositors respectively.

When it comes to the Cumulative FD Plan, the interest earned each year is invested back or added back to the fixed deposit, a process known as compounding. The ability to maximise your ROI is made possible by compounding interest.
To better understand the idea, let's look at an example.
Assume Akash, a depositor, begins a fixed deposit with Shriram for one lakh rupees with a five-year term. He will earn an effective yield of 10.91%*p.a. with an interest rate of 8.73%*p.a. Based on this, he will receive an interest payment of 9.02%*p.a. each year.
The interest is therefore calculated as follows: (Effective Yield interest rate - The rate of interest) (/) (Tenure of the FD)
10.91% - 8.73% = 2.18%
2.18/5 = 0.436
This 0.422 results in an interest rate of 9.09%*p.a. when added to the interest rate of 8.73%*p.a.
Tenure | Principal amount | Cumulative interest earned | Total earned |
1st Year | 100000.00 | 9090.00 | 109090.00 |
2nd Year | 109090.00 | 9916.28 | 119006.28 |
3rd Year | 119006.28 | 10817.67 | 129823.95 |
4th Year | 129823.95 | 11801.00 | 141624.95 |
5th Year | 141624.95 | 12873.71 | 154498.66 |
Here, the investor earns Rs.1,54,498.66 as the final round of interest earned on the fixed deposit. The depositor won't get their principal and interest until the end of the five-year period. Only when the loan reaches maturity, the earned interest income is subject to be taxed.
At Shriram, opening an FD is a simple 4-step process.

When it comes to fixed deposits, the unspoken rule is that the highest tenure is the one that yields the highest rate of interest. So, the best way to increase your ROI would be to increase your tenure to the maximum period possible. Investors can even opt for FD laddering (Investing in more than one FD with different maturity tenures and principal amount). This is yet another amazing way to maximise your returns.

A good financial planning involves investing at least 20% - 30% of your finances in a safe yet profitable option. It is important to have a financially secure future. Invest in a Shriram FD today, to reap the benefits of a higher interest income in future.
In India, the RBI's rules influence the interest rates on FDs. Interest rates at commercial banks are impacted by changes to the repo rate made by RBI. However, when investing in a trusted NBFC like Shriram the interest rates on fixed deposits are still largely unaffected by changes made by policy rate reductions.
Depending on your needs, selecting the best-fixed deposit scheme is critical. If you prefer to have your returns in terms of periodic pay-out you can opt for a non-cumulative fixed deposit. If you prefer to maximise your interest income over a period of time, you can opt for a cumulative fixed deposit.
Compound interest accelerates the growth of your investments. It gives a greater interest than non-cumulative FD because you gain revenue on the money you invest and returns at the end of compounding period.
Cumulative fixed deposits are ideal for investors whose primary goal is to fuel their financial goals.
