Free Fixed Deposit Managers

Features of Free Fixed Deposit Managers

High interest rates and safety of principal and return makes Fixed Deposit as the favourite investment choice among Indian investors. There are various type of deposit schemes available in the market. For instance an investor could invest either in a bank FD, or a corporate FD, or a PPF account etc. Also lot of the investors deposit money in different banks to avoid tax deduction at source (TDS). This makes the task of monitoring all the investment in fixed deposit a bit of a challenge. 

There are many websites which offer solution for managing fixed deposit investments. But none of them provide the complete set of features that would help in managing the fixed deposit investments, hence an investor might have to choose the solution based on the comparative study of the features provided by these websites. 
  We have made an attempt to do a comparative study of the fixed deposit management solutions provided by different websites. We have started with the list of features that should be supported by the fixed deposit manager. Later on we have done the comparison of the features provided by various websites. We hope this will help the investors in choosing the right solution for their need.
