F.A.Q

Disadvantages of FDs

  • Low returns. While FD returns are guaranteed, they are also low, as compared to other short-term market-linked investments.

  • Liquidity. Withdrawing your FD before the date of maturity leads to a penalty charge. ...

  • Tax returns. Interest earned through your FD falls under the taxable slab of your income.

A fixed deposit offers guaranteed returns. The rate of interest offered to you when you open an FD remains constant throughout your tenure. Even if the interest rates fall in the broader market, your FD won't be affected. You, therefore, don't have to worry about the ups and downs of the market.

Liquidity Risk

It is very well known that a fixed deposit makes availability of funds easy, however not all fixed deposits have high liquidity. For example, a tax saver FD has a lock-in period of five years because of which the investor cannot liquidate the funds before the maturity.

A tax saving FD or Fixed Deposit is a financial investment instrument offered by banks & NBFCs where you can deposit money and get a higher rate of interest than a normal savings account. Your investments under this scheme are exempt from tax deductions as per section 80C.

Here are some options to double your money:

  1. Tax-free Bonds. Initially tax- free bonds were issued only in specific periods. ...

  2. Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) ...

  3. Corporate Deposits/Non-Convertible Debentures (NCD) ...

  4. National Savings Certificates. ...

  5. Bank Fixed Deposits. ...

  6. Public Provident Fund (PPF) ...

  7. Mutual Funds (MFs) ...

  8. Gold ETFs.

Similarly, if you want to double your money in five years, your investments will need to grow at around 14.4% per year (72/5). If your goal is to double your invested sum in 10 years, you should invest in a manner to earn around 7% every year. Rule of 72 provides an approximate idea and assumes one time investment.

According to the governing laws in India, the interest earned on FD accounts are fully taxable. The interest amount with your FDs is clubbed with your total income and is taxed accordingly. The tax rates depend on the slab applicable to your total taxable income, as specified under the Income Tax Act.

Interest ceases to be payable after the maturity date unless the fixed deposit is renewed. Withdrawals before maturity Some types of fixed deposits may allow you to make a maximum number of withdrawals during the term of the fixed deposit without incurring any fee or affecting the interest rate.

Can I break my FD at any time?

Fixed deposits, with a premature withdrawal facility, allow the depositor to close the FD before the date of maturity arrives. This comes as a relief in times of cash crunch. However, a certain amount may be required to be paid by the depositor as a penalty to the bank. This usually ranges between 0.5% and 1%.
