  • Fixed Deposit
  • A fixed deposit (FD) is a financial instrument provided by banks or non-bank financial institutions.
  • It provides investors a higher rate of interest than a regular savings account, until the given maturity date.
  • It may or may not require the creation of a separate account.

Benefits:

  • Assured Rate of Return: The major reason why people prefer investing their funds in a fixed deposit is the assured rate of return.
  • Once you invest your funds in a fixed deposit account, you can be guaranteed of receiving the stated rate of return.

 Time period of FD:

  • The investment tenure of FDs ranges from seven days up to ten years, and it varies across banks.
  • The return on investment is compounded periodically; it may be monthly, quarterly, or annually. Senior citizens are provided with 0.5% higher returns as compared to regular customers.
