Fixed Deposit schemes for Indian investors have been the most popular investment option. FDs provide a steady and guaranteed rate of return in contrast to stocks and other investment vehicles. Investors also have the possibility to save some extra money using tax-saving FD schemes.
Tax-saving Fixed deposits have a fixed tenure of five years. These tax-saving FDs offer the investor a tax deduction under Section 80 of the Income-tax Act of 1961 (up to Rs 1.5 lakh in a fiscal year). The minimum investment amount for a tax-saving FD differs from bank to bank. 
 
Here is a list of some of the banks with the best interest rates on these FDs:
