Fund Based Services

GSFS offers two products one of which is Liquid Deposit Scheme (LDS) and the second is the Inter Corporate Deposit (ICD). While LDS is generally opted by entities placing their funds for very short tenor of even less than 15 days, ICD is preferred by the entities wanting to deploy their funds for a longer tenor.

GSFS is wedded with the task of providing dual advantage of enhancing the returns of the Government of Gujarat entities as well as providing them enough liquidity. The details of both the products as are mentioned below.

Inter Corporate Deposit

GSFS pays interest rate for the different tenors towards the Inter Corporate Deposits placed by various Government of Gujarat entities. The present interest rates offered by GSFS for different tenors are as under:

(W.E.F. 16th October, 2023)
ICD Tenure
ICD Rate
15 days to 90 days 6.50% p.a.
91 days to 180 days 7.00% p.a.
181 days to less than 1 year 7.25% p.a.
1 year to 3 years 7.50% p.a.

Interest to be paid on premature withdrawal of ICD at 0.50% below the rate applicable for the period ICD has remained with GSFS. However, to extend more benefits to GoG entities, in cases of partial premature withdrawals, the remaining principal amount of ICD will continue at the original rate till maturity.

The loan against ICD is provided upto 85% of the ICD amount @ 1% higher than the ICD rate.

# For Repayments, please intimate not later than 2.00 p.m. on prior working day. No repayment on Saturdays.

AUTO RENEWAL FACILITY: With a view to provide operational convenience to our depositors, GSFS has implemented AUTO RENEWAL FACILITY for ICDs placed by GoG Entities w.e.f 15th November 2018. Under this facility, in case of no instructions, the ICDs will be automatically renewed alongwith interest at applicable rate of interest for same period on maturity date.

However, if any entity wishes to avail full/partial repayment or wants to change any other terms of maturing ICD, it shall send written instruction alongwith duly discharged ICD receipt to GSFS atleast 3 WORKING DAYS BEFORE the maturity date. For this purpose, GoG entities may download the ICD FORM from GSFS website.

Liquid Deposit Scheme

The investor is paid fixed rate of interest which is @5.75% p.a. effective from 16th October 2023 onwards, on the funds placed by it in the Liquid Deposit Scheme.
