I checked Way2Goals.com site and it has useful information painstakingly compiled and formatted in standard format across diverse private and public sector banks. As each bank publishes information in its own way whenever it wants, compiling and normalizing this centrally involves lots of effort and the work done by Way2Goals.com is really commendable.

@Naresh

I have 2 things for you

1. The best best doesnt matter much when the duration is 16 yrs . The difference between there interest wont be too much , so you can go with any of top 5 i would say . Put your requirement at http://www.way2goals.com/Project2/chooseBank.html and check .

2. Now comes the important part .

I understand that your decision of putting money in Fixes deposits for 16 yrs , is mainly becuase of your no risk appetite and may be you are fearful loosing it in mutual funds or any other equity products , but you have to understand that

- FD returns are almost nil after you factor in the tax and inflation .

- Equity is extremelly efficient for long term goals like you have for 16 yrs. there is no other thing than Equity which i would suggest .

You should atleast put money in PPF account , atleast there wont be any tax on maturity .

You can divide your money in PPF and SIP in 3-4 equity mutual funds .

Its its long term , its Equity .

What is the best suggestion for an NRI to invest 5L in India. The NRE rates are dismal.

anything which is fixed return thing would pay less to NRI . the best thing would be real estate and Equity for long term for NRI .

I could not agree more with Manish.. Fixed Deposits are good only for short and medium term.
It is difficult to beat inflation and grow real value of you money.

It is important to understand various alternative asset classes and their suitability, keeping in mind the liquidity, safety in mind while investing.

Yes . But for the support of FD . Its one of the best tool to invest your money in short term . So if one has a critical financial goal within 1-3 yrs . FD can be a good , non risky tool

Dear Sir
Its always a treat reading your writings. May I be allowed to make a suggestion please. On your website , readfing an article becomes difficult because of widgets of t,f,sms etc . Please put them opn the RHS of the page where contents are lighter on allow flexibility of shifting them.

Thanks and lots of regards
