What is a Fixed Deposit?

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a financial instrument offered by banks and NBFCs where you deposit a lump sum for a fixed period at a pre-agreed interest rate. The interest is compounded (usually quarterly) and paid at maturity.

  • Guaranteed Returns

    Rate locked at booking — market fluctuations don't affect your FD

  • DICGC Insurance

    Deposits up to ₹5 lakh insured by Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation

  • Tax-Saving FD

    5-year FDs qualify for ₹1.5L deduction under Section 80C — but have lock-in

FD Formula Explained

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n × t)

A = Maturity amount (₹)
P = Principal deposited (₹)
r = Annual interest rate (as decimal)
n = Compounding frequency (4 = quarterly)
t = Time in years

Example: ₹1L, 7.5% quarterly, 3 years → ₹1,24,972 maturity

Fixed Deposits in India — Key Facts

India has over ₹200 lakh crore in bank deposits, with FDs being the most popular savings instrument. As of 2025, major bank FD rates range from 6.5–7.5%, while small finance banks offer up to 9%.

Senior Citizen FD: Banks offer 0.25–0.5% higher rates for customers aged 60+. This can significantly impact returns on large FD amounts.

Tax-saving FD (Section 80C): 5-year FDs qualify for tax deduction up to ₹1.5L per year. However, the interest earned is fully taxable, and premature withdrawal is not permitted.
