How to earn from a savings account?

POSTED BY rajat ON March 22, 2011 2:45 pm COMMENTS (3)

I want to know how can I earn more interest from my savings account? HDFC provides sweep in faciity for fixed deposits but I am not very clear about it, can someone explain it better.

Also, if i open a fixed deposit and close it prematurely, what is the interest rate that i will recieve?

    Hi Rajat
    I have tried to put this through a column in the Economic Times. I hope you find this useful in your quest for higher returns from your Savings money. But again, do keep in mind that mutual funds do not give you assured returns.
