Frequently Asked Questions

Common FD queries answered

What is the minimum amount required to open an FD?
Most banks require a minimum of ₹1,000 to open a fixed deposit. However, some banks may have higher minimum requirements, especially for special FD schemes.
Can I withdraw my FD before maturity?
Yes, premature withdrawal is allowed but usually comes with a penalty of 0.5% to 1% reduction in the applicable interest rate. Some banks may also charge additional fees.
How is FD interest calculated?
FD interest is calculated using compound interest formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P is principal, r is annual rate, n is compounding frequency, and t is time in years.
What are the tax implications of FD interest?
FD interest is taxable as per your income tax slab. TDS of 10% is deducted if annual interest exceeds ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens). You can submit Form 15G/15H to avoid TDS if your total income is below taxable limit.
What happens to my FD if the bank fails?
DICGC (Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation) provides insurance coverage up to ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank. This includes both principal and accrued interest.
