What are the highlights of the scheme?
The interest rates given by LIC HFL are determined by a variety of variables. Internal and external factors may be included. Some of these factors might include Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations, economic circumstances, market volatility, and LIC's liquidity situation. Let us look at a few of these elements:
Economic Conditions: Certain economic changes have a significant impact on the interest rates given by the country's banks and financial institutions. People in most developing economies strive to get credit to satisfy their financial demands. In addition, when credit is in great demand, banks may offer higher interest rates to entice new depositors.
Price Rise: Inflation is one of the primary variables influencing term deposit rates, among others. To a significant part, this affects the interest rates that banks and other financial institutions provide.
A Recession: In most situations, a recession will have a negative impact on interest rates. This is the period when banks and financial institutions will begin to decrease the interest rates on most financial goods.
RBI: RBI rules and guidelines are critical in establishing the economy's interest rates.
