Why are safety ratings important for retirement savings?
This is a Corporate Fixed Deposit issued by an NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company), not a bank FD, so it is not covered by DICGC insurance. Bajaj Finance Limited is registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as a Deposit-Taking NBFC (NBFC-D). For retirement savings, the Credit Rating Information Services of India Limited (CRISIL) AAA/Stable and Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency (ICRA) AAA (Stable) ratings, the highest assigned to any NBFC FD in India, serve as the safety anchor in place of DICGC cover.

A senior citizen Fixed Deposit from Bajaj Finance combines a rate of up to 7.75% p.a. with CRISIL AAA/Stable and ICRA AAA (Stable) safety ratings, making it a dependable retirement building block. Running your numbers through the FD calculator first helps you pick the tenure and payout frequency that best supports your retirement income needs.
