The Amrit Vrishti Fixed Deposit Scheme by the State Bank of India in an unpredictable economy is available for 444 days if you seek an alternative with quite some security and attractive returns. This isn’t your typical savings account anymore- it’s a one-of-a-kind, time-constrained beauty that guarantees not merely a secure investment but a good offense against ever-growing inflation demands. Dive in to see why savvy investors are flocking to it.
Why Amrit Vrishti Shines In 2025
Having been introduced by SBI in March 2025 in the place of Amrit Kalash, which itself expired on March 31, the 444-day tenure may come out as starting near midyear and fall nicely somewhere in the middle- the brief interval without loss of flexibility inherent in long-term options. Forget about all the market turbulences that threaten your nest egg-they are down deep inside your cherished principal, enjoying DICGC protection of up to ₹5 lakh.
Competitive Interest Rate
Incredible are Amrit Vrishti’s interest rates! Revised slightly downward and currently floating at 6.60% p.a. for the public starting from June 15, 2025. This means that the seniors will receive an extra 0.50% bump, pushing it to 7.10%, while super-seniors will have it at 7.20%. With quarterly compounding, it outperforms regular FDs in its category, ticking the highest in all the PSU banks.
