01

How fixed deposits work

A fixed deposit generally locks money for a chosen tenure at a stated interest rate, subject to the bank's terms.

02

Compare tenure and payout

Compare maturity value, interest payout frequency, premature-withdrawal rules and applicable tax treatment.

03

Match FD to your goal

Choose a tenure that fits when you expect to need the money. Avoid locking essential emergency funds for too long.
