How it works

Banks compound FD interest — usually quarterly — so interest starts earning interest. Maturity = principal × (1 + rate/frequency)^(frequency × years). More frequent compounding gives slightly more.

Example

₹1 lakh at 7% for 5 years with quarterly compounding matures to about ₹1.41 lakh.

FAQs

Does compounding frequency matter?

A little. Monthly compounding beats yearly at the same rate. The rate itself and the tenure matter far more.

Is there a penalty for breaking an FD early?

Usually yes — banks pay 0.5–1% less than the contracted rate for the period the money stayed. Check your bank's terms.

Is FD interest taxable?

Yes, fully taxable at your slab rate. Banks deduct 10% TDS if yearly interest exceeds the threshold (₹40,000 for most, ₹50,000 for seniors).
