An FD is a sort of investment in which a person invests a lump sum amount with a bank for a certain period. The cash placed in the FD receives interest at a predetermined rate determined at the time of account establishment. FD holders can select whether to receive their interest monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

The returns are assured, and there is no actual danger of capital loss. Furthermore, they provide a higher rate of return than savings accounts. This makes FD Deposits a secure and appealing investment choice for anybody searching for consistent and predictable earnings. Some tax-saving FDs can also help you save money on your taxes.

The interest rate on an FD

The interest rate varies from bank to bank. It also depends on the period of investment and the amount deposited.

Features of FDs

This is the safest and easiest option to park your money. You can also invest for a flexible tenure and also get assured returns. Moreover, you can also get loans against your FD. Some FDs also offer tax benefits. 

Senior citizens and super senior citizens get more interest in most of the FDs.
