Corporate Fixed Deposits
A Corporate Fixed Deposits functions much like a bank FD but is issued by companies, non-banking financial institutions (NBFCs), and housing finance firms. Investors deposit a specific amount for a fixed tenure, and the company pays interest at regular intervals or at maturity. These deposits are unsecured, meaning they are not backed by collateral, and are governed by the rules set by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the Reserve Bank of India for registered issuers. Corporate FDs are often chosen by individuals seeking predictable returns while diversifying their fixed-income portfolio.
