The deposit earns a high interest while retaining its liquidity. The periodical transactions can be automatic as per your instructions. By making use of your idle money, the scheme provides you an option to meet both your short term and long term requirements.

FRIEND-IN-NEED SCHEME (A FIXED DEPOSIT WITH CHEQUE FACILITY)

This Term Deposit earns high interest and simultaneously offers overdraft facility through a Current Account. Cheque facility is available for withdrawal of money limited to 90% of the deposit. The drawals together with interest can be paid back in instalments, without affecting the growth of the deposit. This unique combination of fixed deposit with cheque facility comes as your true friend in meeting your emergency needs.
