Navigating Corporate Deposits

Corporate deposits are fixed deposits offered by companies to individuals and institutions. They work similarly to bank fixed deposits but are issued by non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) or corporates to raise funds for various purposes such as working capital or business expansion. Corporate deposits are best suited for investors with a higher risk appetite, who are seeking better returns than those offered by banks, and who carefully assess the company’s financial health before investing.

Corporate deposits generally offer higher interest rates than traditional bank fixed deposits to attract investors.

The tenure typically ranges from a few months to several years, with the interest paid either periodically or on maturity.

Corporate deposits carry a higher risk compared to bank deposits, as they are not insured by the government or any regulatory authority. The safety of investment depends on the creditworthiness of the issuing company.
To assess risk, these deposits are rated by credit rating agencies (e.g., CRISIL, ICRA). Higher-rated deposits are considered safer, while lower-rated ones offer higher returns but come with greater risk.
Corporate deposits may not offer as much liquidity as bank deposits. Early withdrawal or premature termination often incurs a penalty or may not be allowed.
