Jio Payments Bank Introduces ‘Savings Pro’ to Boost Returns on Surplus Funds

On September 22, 2025, Jio Payments Bank, a subsidiary of Jio Financial Services, came up with a new feature that allows customers to earn returns of up to 6.5% by automatically investing the surplus fund in the low-risk Overnight Mutual Funds through the Jio Finance App. With this new initiative, your idle money can become an investment.

The company says that the savings pro account allows customers to invest up to Rs 1,50,000 per day, and as per SEBI regulations, up to 90% of the invested amount, subject to a maximum of Rs 50,000, can be redeemed instantly. Any remaining balance will be credited within 1 to 2 working days.

The overnight mutual fund refers to a debt fund that invests in securities that have a maturity of one day. The risk associated with overnight mutual funds is low, and they offer more stable returns as compared to hybrid or equity funds. As per the Jio Payments Bank Limited, the 6.5% returns are based on the two-year annualised return in the ‘growth’ plans of overnight mutual funds.
