    @Suraj sir doubt in question number 3 and 5th aren’t both financial institution and banks are same
    Explain the difference , ? How answer differ

    1. Suraj

      See in ques 1 it is given who can issue COD
      CDs can be issued by
      (i) scheduled commercial banks {excluding Regional Rural Banks and Local Area Banks}; and
      (ii) select All-India Financial Institutions (FIs) that have been permitted by RBI- (other than banks)
      Fis can be like NBFC, insurance company etc

      Now when a bank issues a COD and when a FI issues a COD there is difference of time period for both
      Bank it is 7 days to 1 year
      FI it is 1 year to 3 year
