I have a Fixed Deposit in Bank of Maharashtra because its near to my place but the interest rate is very low compared to Punjab Maharashtra Cooperative Bank. It was opened before one year and have deposited 6L. I think the rate of interest is 8.25%. The services are excellent, I would suggest them to increase the interest rate.

am using online services for Fixed deposit. I withdraw the interest monthly which gives me better Rate of interest than Standard 4%. The Best part is you can make Fixed Deposit in Multiples of 1000(Thousands),with minimum amount of Rs.1000. In other banks minimum Amount is 10,000. and helpd you to earn around 8-9% which is double than your normal ROI.

I am holding a Fixed deposit with Bank of Maharastha. They have done a very good job. It was closed after maturity and the same was used for my daughters marriage. I am holding this for the past 5 years and it is a tax saver FD. Interest rate offered by them was medium which is 9% and they have provided the FD certificate also.

The FD types in Bank of Maharashtra is very difficult to understand.
I was trying to figure out if there is an option to create a Tax Saver FD online, but when I checked the FD types, and the names of FD, it was very confusing.
Ultimately I need to google each FD types to understand what that means.
The FD types should be made simpler like that of SBI and ICICI.
I had opened up the fixed deposit with Bank of Maharashtra before a year. Its a very good interest rate provided and its competitive too. The relationship with this bank is too good and they are customer friendly. Customer service as well as on line services is too great.

Bank of Maharashtra's Fixed Deposit offers interest rate @9% approx. I did it for one year and the sum is Rs.50000. I applied it with my net banking online. It is a nice product for long term accumulation. You can deposit sum on a monthly basis. My overall experience was quite good.
Maharashtra bank Fixed Deposit is good their rate of interest is low when compared with other banks, it was opened as a joint account with my wife and the prime reason why I opened this account is because I was planning for a housing loan and that is why.
It was a good experience of holding a fixed deposit with Bank of Maharashtra. I have closed the FD an year ago. There was no documentation required for creating the FD because I was holding a savings account with them. They do have online facility however I didn't avail the service. Customer service and response are too good and I genuinely having a very good experience. Bank executives are very pro-active. Rate of interest was 8.5%.

Couple of months ago I started my first fixed deposit with bank of Maharashtra. I am a salary account holder for a while. It was quite easy to start a fixed deposit as there are no documents required. Rate of interest is good compared to other banks. Customer service is fine but not good as other private banks. I would suggest the bank to introduce online services.
