🔒

Guaranteed Returns

FDs offer guaranteed returns with capital protection. Unlike market-linked investments, your principal is safe and returns are predetermined at the time of booking.

📊

Cumulative vs Non-Cumulative

Cumulative FDs reinvest interest quarterly for higher returns. Non-cumulative FDs pay regular interest monthly, quarterly, or yearly — ideal for income needs.

💰

Tax on FD Interest

FD interest is taxable as per your income tax slab. TDS @ 10% is deducted if annual interest exceeds ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens).

👴

Senior Citizen Benefits

Senior citizens (60+ years) get 0.25% to 0.75% higher interest rates and higher TDS exemption limit of ₹50,000 annually instead of ₹40,000.

Premature Withdrawal

Early withdrawal is allowed but attracts penalty (usually 0.5% to 1%) and reduced interest rates as per bank's policy. Plan your liquidity needs accordingly.

🛡️

DICGC Insurance

Bank FDs are insured up to ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank by DICGC, providing additional safety to your investment beyond the bank's guarantee.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

💡 What is a Fixed Deposit?

An FD is a deposit where you invest a lump sum for a fixed tenure at a fixed interest rate, earning predictable returns.

📈 How is FD interest calculated?

Cumulative FDs compound interest quarterly. Non-cumulative FDs pay periodic interest (monthly, quarterly, or yearly).

⏳ Can I withdraw FD early?

Yes, but premature withdrawal reduces your interest and may attract a penalty based on the bank’s rules.

👴 Are there senior citizen benefits?

Yes. Banks typically offer 0.25%–0.75% higher interest rates for senior citizens.

💰 Which type of FD gives the highest return?

Cumulative FDs generally offer the highest returns since interest is reinvested quarterly, boosting compounding.

📅 What happens if I renew my FD after maturity?

Most banks allow auto-renewal. The new FD starts at the prevailing interest rate on the renewal date.
