Tenures of deposits ranging from 14 months to 36 months get a nominal increase of 0.25% and thus offer an interest rate of 9.25% per annum. The same rate is also applicable for tenures of 48 months to 120 months. The highest rate of interest offered by DHFL is currently 9.35% per annum and is applicable for deposit tenures of 40 months.
