How to decide the investment period in FD?
It is often seen that FD investors are quite confused about the tenure for which they should invest. Before deciding on the tenure of FD, an investor should know the reason for his investment. If the investor is investing with a long-term perspective, then he should opt for more years. On the other hand, if you are investing for higher returns, then you should invest in special FDs.
