SBI loans against Fixed Deposits: What are the benefits and how to avail them? Explained in brief

SBI loans against Fixed Deposits: If you are in an urgent need of money and are running out of resources, this particular facility can be of great help to you. State Bank of India (SBI) provides the facility to avail a loan against your Fixed Deposits (FD).

Liquidating your FD before term is not a profitable decision as you lose out on the interest and also end up paying a penalty amount. Once the FD is liquidated, the bank pays interest at a rate that is lower among the rates at which the FD was approved and the rate of interest on the day of liquidation. But, getting a loan against the FD is a good option as it ensures that the benefits you derive from the FD account stay intact, and offers the loan at a comparatively lower rate of interest.
