Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fixed Deposit (FD)?
A Fixed Deposit is a financial instrument provided by banks where you deposit a lump sum for a fixed period at a predetermined interest rate. FDs offer guaranteed returns and are considered one of the safest investment options.
What is the difference between cumulative and non-cumulative FD?
In a cumulative FD, interest is compounded and paid at maturity along with the principal. In a non-cumulative FD, interest is paid out periodically (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly) and only the principal is returned at maturity.
Is FD interest taxable?
Yes, FD interest is taxable under 'Income from Other Sources' in India. If total FD interest exceeds ₹40,000 per year (₹50,000 for senior citizens), TDS at 10% is deducted by the bank. You can claim deduction under Section 80TTB (senior citizens) up to ₹50,000.
