Frequently Asked Questions

Find immediate answers regarding Fixed Deposit interest rates.

What is a Fixed Deposit (FD)?

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a secure investment instrument offered by banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). You lock in a lump-sum amount of money for a specific maturity period at a guaranteed interest rate that does not change until maturity.

Are deposits in Small Finance Banks safe?

Yes. Small Finance Banks are fully regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Under the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) Act, deposits up to ₹5 Lakhs (inclusive of principal and accrued interest) per depositor are 100% insured, matching the safety level of large commercial banks.

How does TDS work on Fixed Deposits?

If the total interest earned across all your FDs in a bank exceeds ₹40,000 in a financial year (or ₹50,000 for senior citizens), the bank will deduct 10% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) automatically. If your net income is below the taxable threshold, you can submit Form 15G or 15H to prevent this TDS deduction.
