Our Assessment
Company FDs are illiquid in nature, but it offers 0.75% to 1% higher rate of interest as against Bank FD. Some reputed companies like JP Associates and Unitech are offering higher interest rates in the range of 11.5-12.5% pa.
I recommend M&M Finance FD (with highest safety rating) for someone who intends to stay in fixed interest asset class. Although major part of their money should be invested into bank FDs, some part of investment into Company FD for higher returns would be a wise option.
