Double Benefit Term Deposits from Bank of India is said to provide a higher yield on deposited principal at the end of the mentioned period since the interest is compounded on a quarterly basis; however, the principal along with the accrued interest is paid to the account owner only at the end of the period for which the deposit has been placed with the Bank and no monthly or half-yearly payments as it is in the case of other general types of deposits.
This FD scheme is highly useful for short term and medium term investment that generally ranges ranging from 12 months to 120 months. In the case of this term deposit a period of 6 months to 120 months may be chosen as term for the deposit.

Definitely good. But they provide very low interest rate on FD. Interest rate is 7.3%. Staffs behave well and well trained. You can get better interest rate at other banks, almost 1% high interest rate. Now a days lots of ATM from BOI is available.

Against this fixed deposit the Bank of India had offered me a loan. It is very simple to take loan basis the deposit. No much formalities and no much paper works. By filling a single form we get the loan. Interest rate for the fixed deposit was 8.5%.
BOI is a Government bank and their norms are in line with RBI. The reason why I had chosen BOI is because its a very old bank and its next to my place. My father and mother is holding an account here and that is why I am using this account. I know the BOI staff so I had taken this FD .Interest rate offered by BOI was 8% to 9%
Bank of India is same like other banks in regards to the rate for Fixed deposit. Service is not good like private but product and money will be safe. It is an nationalized bank and that is only good thing about them. All the government banks are low in services.

I had the fixed deposit with the Bank of India and the experience is good with them. Interest rate is common to all, like every bank is giving same rates to the customers. They are having the locker facilities. I been with them from the last 12 years of time. Customer service in the rural areas are not that much okay while in the urban areas they are good.
BOI Fixed deposit is very good. They are providing the best interest rate , they have provided online banking . This request was placed at the branch and its a cumulative interest rate this FD was withdrawn after 6 days from the date of placing the deposit and there is no charges for the same we can liquidate it when ever we want,.

I do have the fixed deposit with the Bank of india. I used to visit the branch for some of the thing and the rest of the thing I used to dealt with online banking. The drawback is I have to download the application to do the online banking, which is secure but not user friendly. Customer service is good and the rate of interest is also good. There are no minimum lock in period for this.

Bank of India Fixed deposit was okay . I have been holding this FD for 4 years. This FD was opened at the Branch. I have submitted my id cards for opening this FD. This was taken for a period of 10 years. There was no online access for that . Branch is next to my place . They are also ready to provide overdraft based on this account. However I am not ready to accept that

Firstly, I have a savings account with Bank of India and secondly it is a government organization so comparatively safe and thirdly the rate of interest 8.75% is high. I think for senior citizens, the rate is of 9.2%. Certainly the rate is of simple rate and it comes at the time of maturity.
Term period that I have opted for Fixed Deposit is 5year and the rate of interest is 8.75%. If we want to break the deposit in between the term, can do it very well but there must be some penalty charges. As per our convenience we can prefer the tenure and at the end of the maturity, I do get the accumulated interest. Bank of India is very good but they lacks in service when we compare with private banks.

Bank of India Fixed deposit is really good. Their online support is not that good and no facility like Whats up. Interest rate offered for the loan is high however the interest rate offered for FD is normal.
