What is Fixed Deposit ?
- A fixed deposit is for investors who want to deposit a lump sum for a fixed period, ranging from 15 days to 10 years.
- It offers a higher rate of interest compared to regular savings accounts.
- At maturity, the investor receives a lump sum, including both principal and interest.
- Fixed deposits are one of the most common savings schemes for average investors.
- Banks offer facilities such as:
- Overdraft (loan) facility on the deposit amount.
- Premature withdrawal before maturity (which may involve a loss of interest).
- Bank deposits are relatively safe as banks operate under the control of the Reserve Bank of India.
