7 DICGC insured savings accounts with 7% interest rates (2024)

Savings accounts are bank accounts that provide risk-free returns while still providing sufficient liquidity to manage your finances. Savings accounts are often used for short-term investments and to store funds in a safe location in case of an emergency. These accounts generate good returns but are not enough to keep up with inflation. In reality, investors should be aware that interest generated on all savings bank accounts up to 10,000 is tax-free under Section 80TTA of the Income Tax Act. As inflation continues to rise, opening a savings account with the highest possible interest rates would be a sensible move for your financial health. As a consequence, here are the seven DICGC insured savings accounts now giving the highest interest rate of 7% in the country.
