SBI Multi Option Deposit Scheme: You can withdraw money without breaking FD, know the special features of this special FD scheme

In SBI Multi Option Deposit Scheme you can withdraw as much money as you need without breaking FD

Bank Fixed Deposit (FD) is considered the safest and most rewarding investment. It also provides guaranteed returns along with profits. However, the biggest problem with FD is that if money is needed, it has to be broken, even if the need is a small amount of money. Due to this you get a low interest rate and have to pay a penalty. To overcome this problem, State Bank of India (SBI) has brought a special FD scheme. In SBI Multi Option Deposit Scheme- MODS, you can withdraw as much money as you need without breaking FD.




The SBI MODS scheme is like a term deposit, but it is linked to the savings or current account of the account holder. The advantage of this is that you can withdraw money from it anytime when needed. It has the facility of premature withdrawal. However TDS is applied on this. If the depositor wants to withdraw money from the linked account and does not have that much money in his account, he can withdraw money from the MODS as well. Money can be withdrawn for 1000 rupees or its multiples.
