Best way to Park Rs 1L

Newbie2004

TF Neo
So My mom had accumulated about Rs 120000 in cash saving for last 3 years
She wanted to Park this funds in a savings account
I wanted to know what will be the best way to invest this safely so she can earn while doing so? She doesn't care as long as the money is safe Or What is the best saving account which maybe provide good benefits like Rupay select debit card and all like that
Also I don't know anything SIP/stocks
 
Or What is the best saving account which maybe provide good benefits like Rupay select debit card

Put 20k in bank of baroda super savings account to get rupay select dc...


Put the remaining money 1lac in FD in a nearby small finance bank. Most provide 8% interest rate.

Also I don't know anything SIP/stocks

Forget about stock market for now.
 
Unity bank gives 9% interest rate (9.5% for senior citizens) and deposits are insured by DICGC upto 5Lacs.
They also have a provision of monthly interest payout.

There are many other banks giving around 8.75-9.00% returns.

You may have to submit PAN card and provide source of funds since this will be cash deposits.
 
Which is better liquid fund or small finance bank account?
I hope you are asking about FD in SFB. Depends on use case. For small tenure such as a week or month, liquid fund is better, for longer term, SFB FD is better. For savings, safety should be of paramount importance. Risk should only be taken as per appetite when investment is involved.
So, for money to be saved, FD, in a stable bank, should be the first option.

Amount is less than 5L, so go with only FD (8 to 9 %. If she is senior citizen , will get extra .5%).

No savings account. (only 2.75%)

FD. Put 6 FDs (20, 000) in any ONE small finance banks which give more returns.

For RuPay Select Debit card, you don't need put huge amount. Normal savings account is enough.

Don't couple with RSDC with your mom's cash.
 
which small finance bank is most reliable? I am looking to park around 10L
All banks have the same safety net from RBI upto 5L under DICGC. I would select the deposit with highest interest rate but max upto 5L rs. SFB are not always bad. AU is on its way to become a full fledged bank, Unity is run by veteran banker Jaspal Bindra and so on.

Any bank including non co-operatives whose security threshold falls below RBI's norms is put under PCA or prompt corrective action. This also includes some big banks like IDBI and Yes bank. Rarely does a small bank (almost always a co-operative) falls but RBI puts it on PCA which is sort of a course correction.
