About Fixed Deposits

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a financial instrument that provides higher interest rates than regular savings accounts. It's a safe investment option where you deposit a lump sum for a fixed tenure at a predetermined interest rate.

How FD Interest Works

FD interest can be compounded quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. The more frequent the compounding, the higher the returns. Senior citizens typically get 0.5% higher interest rates.

Tax Implications

Interest earned on FDs is taxable as per your income tax slab. TDS is deducted if interest exceeds ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens) in a financial year.

Premature Withdrawal

Breaking an FD before maturity usually attracts a penalty of 0.5-1% on the interest rate. The exact terms depend on the bank's policies.
