Good to know

  • Muthoot Finance Limited does not accept public deposits: RBI classifies it as a non-deposit-taking NBFC (or as an infrastructure or investment company), so there are no fixed deposit rates to compare. It raises money through bonds, debentures and bank borrowings, which are market instruments, not deposits.
  • Muthoot Finance is a non-banking finance company, not a bank. Its deposits are not covered by DICGC insurance, so compare its credit rating and financial strength, not just the rate.
