Deposit Schemes
3 QuestionsHow is interest calculated on Fixed Deposits and Recurring Deposits?
Interest on Fixed Deposits (FD) and Recurring Deposits (RD) at BSL Nidhi Limited is compounded on a quarterly basis, maximizing the effective maturity yield compared to simple interest schemes. For Monthly Income Schemes (MIS), interest is credited on a monthly basis directly into your savings account.
Is nomination facility available for deposit accounts?
Yes. Nomination facility is available and highly recommended for all deposit accounts (FD, RD, MIS, DDS, and Savings Accounts). A member can nominate one or more individuals to receive maturity proceeds in the unforeseen event of the account holder's demise.
Do senior citizens receive additional interest benefits?

Gold Loans at BSL Nidhi Limited are processed and disbursed within 30 minutes at our branch. Gold ornaments are evaluated transparently in your presence, and credit is disbursed immediately upon KYC verification.

Can I avail a loan against my active Fixed or Recurring Deposit?
