The post lists down the rate of Fixed Deposit Interest Rates as of June 1, 2021. You might want to bookmark this page as the FD interest rates would be updated every month.
Fixed Deposit
- Most banks offer FDs for tenure of 7 Days to 10 Years.
- The Ratnakar Bank & IDBI Bank do offer fixed deposits up to 20 years too.
- For very short Term Deposits the interest rate is similar to that of Savings Account and so you should not worry about FD. Also Interest up to Rs 10,000 in Saving Account is Tax free.
- Most banks compound interest quarterly
- Most New Small Finance Banks offer higher interest rate across tenures.
- Banks offer Loan/Overdraft against the amount available in Fixed Deposit. The interest is generally 0.5% to 1% more than that offered to FD.
- TDS (Tax deduction at source) at the rate of 10% is deducted, if the interest income is more than Rs 40,000 in financial year per bank (changed from Rs 10,000 limit in Budget 2019)
- In case of Senior citizens TDS would be deducted at the rate of 10%, if the interest income exceeds Rs 50,000
