Understanding Fixed Deposits
What is Fixed Deposit?
Fixed Deposit (FD) is a financial instrument provided by banks which provides investors with a higher rate of interest than a regular savings account, until the given maturity date.
Benefits of FD
- Guaranteed returns with capital protection
- Higher interest rates than savings accounts
- Flexible tenure options
- Loan facility against FD
- Tax benefits under certain conditions
How FD Interest is Calculated
FD interest is calculated using compound interest formula. The frequency of compounding (monthly, quarterly, etc.) affects the final maturity amount.
Important Considerations
- Interest earned is taxable as per income tax slab
- Premature withdrawal may attract penalty
- Consider inflation impact on real returns
- Compare rates across different banks
- Senior citizens get higher interest rates
