Alternatives to Fixed Deposit

Hello Friends,

FD gives low interest rates. Is there anything else (not mutual funds) that is as safe as FD but with higher returns?

Thanks so much.

@moneymanager I understood half. Currently it offers only 7.6% So lets say for example I invested 1 lakh which comes to 7600 Rs interest per annum. So monthly it comes around Rs 633. Now I didnt get your 2nd half of the suggestion you said (and put that monthly income in RD is same post office and both combined u will get 10 to10.50% and no tax too and safe ) means what exactly?

open one recurring deposit account in that post office and put this 633 monthly in that. we no need to do physically. it all automatic. . since it is only 7.6% now then 10% bit difficult. need to calculate.

Oh okay I got your point now. Thanks a lot bro. Also apart from this are there any other good schemes which offer similiar or more then this?

For how long that rate of 8.5% are still going on with them or something like that ? I do not really see from how it's going later with everything you make it here. There are fixed deposits in some countries which can make you even 18.5% minus taxes for sure.
