Overview

Fixed Deposits (FDs) are a low-risk investment avenue provided by banks and financial institutions. They offer a predetermined interest rate for a fixed tenure, ensuring guaranteed returns. While they are a secure option, early withdrawals may attract penalties.

Interest rates on FDs depend on the duration of the deposit and prevailing market trends. The interest earned is subject to taxation, and many FDs offer the benefit of compound interest to enhance returns.

To align your FD investment with your financial goals, it’s advisable to consult our experts at Sure Tax Bizcare for tailored guidance.

Types of Fixed Deposits

1. Regular Fixed Deposit

This is the standard type where a lump sum is deposited for a fixed tenure at a predetermined interest rate. The interest is paid at maturity or at regular intervals as chosen.

2. Senior Citizen Fixed Deposit

Designed specifically for individuals above a certain age (typically 60 years), these FDs offer higher interest rates as an added benefit for retirees.

3. Tax-Saving Fixed Deposit

Also known as Tax-Saver FDs, these come with a mandatory 5-year lock-in period and offer tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, making them suitable for long-term tax planning.

4. Cumulative Fixed Deposit

Interest in this type of FD is compounded periodically but paid out only at maturity. It helps maximize returns by reinvesting the interest over the tenure.

5. Non-Cumulative Fixed Deposit

Unlike cumulative FDs, these pay interest at regular intervals—monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually—making them suitable for those seeking steady income.

6. Corporate Fixed Deposit

Issued by companies rather than banks, corporate FDs generally offer higher interest rates. However, they carry higher risk and should be chosen after evaluating the issuer’s creditworthiness.

7. Flexi Fixed Deposit

A hybrid of savings and FD accounts, Flexi FDs allow easy withdrawals and deposits while earning FD-like returns on the remaining balance, offering both liquidity and returns.

8. Callable Fixed Deposit

These FDs give the bank or financial institution the right to prematurely close the deposit after a specific period, usually with prior notice to the investor.

Advantages of Fixed Deposits

High Level of Safety

Fixed deposits are known for their stability and are considered among the safest investment avenues. Since they are backed by reputable banks or financial institutions, the risk to your principal amount is minimal.

Protection of Capital

FDs are ideal for preserving your invested capital. Unlike market-linked instruments such as stocks or mutual funds, FDs do not fluctuate in value, ensuring consistent and secure returns.

Useful for Tax Savings

Certain types of fixed deposits, like tax-saving FDs, qualify for deductions under specific sections of income tax laws (such as Section 80C in India). This makes them a useful tool for managing and reducing taxable income.

Assured Returns

One of the main advantages of FDs is the certainty of returns. The interest rate is fixed at the time of investment, offering guaranteed earnings over the selected period—an attractive feature for conservative investors.Most mutual funds, especially open-ended ones, offer easy entry and exit, allowing investors to redeem their units on any business day. This ensures quick access to funds, enhancing flexibility in times of need.

Flexible Investment Duration

FDs offer varied tenures ranging from a few months to several years. This allows investors to select a period that suits their financial objectives, whether they are saving for the short or long term.

Simple and Hassle-Free Process

Opening a fixed deposit is easy and convenient. Most financial institutions allow investors to open and manage FDs either online or at a branch, ensuring accessibility and smooth transaction handling.
