At 60, the ₹20 lakh bank FD earning ₹1.5-1.6 lakh interest annually is a safe choice. However, for enhanced returns without significantly increasing risk, consider the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) offering 8.2% per annum. For remaining money, stay in FDs or Post Office schemes, such as 5-year FD at 7.5% or Monthly Income Scheme (MIS) at 7.4%.
