A Fixed Deposit or FD is a scheme that has been popular since ages in India.


It is nothing but one of the most common types of deposit scheme provided by all banks as well as many non-banking financial institutions.

In a Fixed deposit, all you need to do is deposit a lumpsum amount for a definite time period at a rate of return which is predefined. On the date of the fixed deposit maturity, you may choose to remain invested or withdraw the maturity amount. There also would be a component of Tax Deducted at Source/TDS . Banks or the financial institution will deduct the TDS on an FD interest amount which is higher than Rs.10,000 per year. The tax deduction rate is 10% on interest income, only on the condition that the details of your PAN are linked with the Fixed Deposit (FD) account. If you fail to offer your PAN details, it will lead to a deduction of 20% on interest income. It is best to compare the rate of interest of different banks in case you wish to deposit a few of your savings in a Fixed deposit.
