FAQs

What is a Fixed Deposit and how does it work?

A fixed deposit allows you to invest a lump sum for a predetermined period at a fixed interest rate. The interest earned on your deposit compounds over time, and at maturity, you receive both the principal and interest. You can get FDs from banks and financial institutions as a low-risk investment option, to achieve your financial goals with certainty and safety.

    Is an FD right for your portfolio?

    Every investment asset has a different role to play in your portfolio. FDs provide guaranteed returns with minimal risk. They help preserve your capital and even grow it in volatile markets, offering liquidity and predictable interest. Large bank FDs might not always beat inflation, but they can be used conveniently for short-term goals or to build emergency funds or to cushion your portfolio from volatility. FDs from small banks and NBFCs can even help you beat inflation.

      Is KYC mandatory for opening a Fixed Deposit?

      Yes, KYC is mandatory for opening a Fixed Deposit account to comply with regulatory requirements and ensure the authenticity of the account holder.

        What documents are required for KYC in Fixed Deposits?

        You need to provide proof of identity (e.g., Aadhaar card, PAN card), proof of address (e.g., utility bill, passport), and proof of date of birth.

          Can an FD be withdrawn partially and are there any charges for early withdrawals?

          Most banks permit partial withdrawals from Fixed Deposits (FDs), but the terms can vary. You might face penalties, which could reduce the applicable interest rate. Some banks offer special FDs that do not have withdrawal penalties after a lock-in period. If you need liquidity, consider options like Flexi FDs or laddering your deposits. Always check the withdrawal rules before investing to avoid unexpected charges or losses.
