Want to book a fixed deposit without PAN card? This is what it will cost you
Fixed deposits are one of the widely used investment tools as there is no risk factor and the returns are guaranteed too. A fixed deposit plan gives higher rate of interest compared to savings accounts. It requires you to deposit a lump sum of money in the FD for a fixed period of time ranging from 7 days to 10 years. While opening an FD account with any bank, you are required to submit your PAN card details as well. However, if you don't have a PAN card, you may have to pay some of your gains as taxes to the IT department.
