A term deposits scheme requires the investor to be patient as the more the tenure of the deposit the more investor would earn, also there are various other facilities like stocks, mutual funds that can yield comparatively higher returns in a very short period of time.

The safety feature of this scheme is what keeps the investors in high spirits which is lacking in all the other investment options. The other drawback with this scheme is tax deductions. The interest that the investor earns comes under taxable category and TDS is deducted from the total interest earned by the investor.
