👉 A Corporate Fixed Deposit (FD) is a financial product where companies accept deposits from investors for a fixed tenure at a predetermined interest rate.
It works similar to a bank FD, but instead of a bank, a corporate company (non-banking company) issues the FD.
Why Choose Corporate FD?
Higher Interest Rates than Bank FDs
Fixed Returns (No market risk)
Suitable for conservative investors seeking regular income
