The CENT Uttam Scheme is one of the fixed deposit schemes offered by the Central Bank of India. The Central Bank of India was the first commercial bank in India established in 1911 which had the distinction of being wholly owned and successfully operated by Indians. The Central Bank of India was nationalised in 1969. The CENT Uttam scheme provides customers with various benefits such as high returns and easy liquidity. The CENT Uttam scheme is also flexible in that customers can withdraw a part of their deposit amount according to their financial requirements. Under the CENT Uttam scheme, customers withdraw some ‘units’ (deposit amount) in case they require liquidity. It is important to note that the withdrawn amount has no bearing on the remaining deposit amount in that the same interest rate applies on the amount till maturity (10 ‘unit withdrawals’ can be made throughout the period of the scheme).

I deposited 50K as an FD in Central Bank of India. I haven't withdrawn the deposit and they provides annual interest for the FD. It was easy to start the FD and they also gave me a credit card based on the fixed deposit. Overall it has been a easy process opening FD with the Central Bank of India.

I had this Fixed Deposit with Central Bank and they gave me 9% Interest over my investment and I took the Deposit for 3 years. Eventually I got good returns with them. Unfortunately, now they have reduced the interest rate to 6-6.5%. Another good thing about the FD was that I was able to take money before maturity period also.

I deposited Fixed Deposit in two Banks some 3 years back and this is one of those two. Their Fixed Deposit account is pretty good and does the job fantastically. The rate of interest 6.5% is a little less compared to market standard, but then again the risk factors in this Bank are literally zero.

I had fixed deposit for two lakhs but I closed that deposit. As I used that amount to buy a new home. I did not pay any penalty to break the policy. Staff members of Central Bank of India are not customer friendly and they are not treating well the customers.

Saving account is there at Central Bank of India so I preferred for fixed deposit. I believe the rate for deposit is 7.5% to 8%. On my convenient time I can close the deposit and definitely the bank will deduct some penalty for it. Nationalized banks will be better for deposits.
Central bank of India gave 8.75% for the fixed deposit with the minimum lock in period of 7 days to 10 years. Minimum amount to deposit is Rs.5000. No penalty in case we break the plan . We can active the plan through online.After the maturity period the amount will be deposit to the account.
I have a fixed deposit with Central Bank of India. The services are good when compared to other banks. Earlier I was getting 9% of interest rate and now as per RBI rules it is 8%. There are no charges for this account. I been using this account for the last four months. The services has been good so far.

I have a fixed deposit running in central bank of India. I have taken this for my child. It was easy to start a FD with them. The total maturity period is 3 years and I have completed 2 years. The rate of interest they are offering is less. Once if the FD is matured it cannot be continued, it must be broke and we have to again apply for a different one. It is a drawback. Apart from that everything is good.

I am holding a fixed deposit with Central bank. They provide 1% high interest rate for the staff and for senior citizen it is 0.5%. As a staff we hardly take 5 minutes to open the account and provide the receipt it is that simple. Incase if the customer does not hold an account with us we ask for voters id incase if dont have an account we provide first 20k through cash and the rest would be transferred to savings account.

I am dealing with CBI cheeka from last 1 year. Customer service is very good as compared to other bank and interest rate is at par with other bank. Net bankig is very good. I can make fd through net banking and can close it through net banking also. No need to visit branch always.
I took fixed deposit from Central Bank of India two years ago and they are giving very good benefits for FD holders but not I could not recall all the things. The rate of interest is around 9.2% so it is reasonable and good in customer service. For tenure of five years I opened FD and they are giving good offers.
