Factors Affecting Senior Citizen Dena Bank Fixed Deposit Rates

Tenure and payout options are some of the key factors that affect the interest return on the FD for senior citizens.

Less than six months: FD with less than six months tenure will get paid simple interest on the principal amount at maturity.

Six months and above: The Dena bank FD rates for senior citizens with higher than six months tenure will be compounded quarterly.

Reinvestment/ cumulative: This payout option reinvests the interest amount. Thus, the depositor earns interest over interest. And the compounding is done quarterly.

Monthly payout: In this option, the interest is paid to the investor monthly. As a result, the interest doesn't get compounded and hence, the investor is offered a lower interest rate.
