As popular investment options, FDs are always subject to renewal and withdrawal. After the completion of your tenor, you can either renew or withdraw your FD. You can renew your FD easily online. If you don’t plan to renew your FD, your maturity amount will be directly credited into your bank account.

If you are a Resident Indian citizen, you can invest in a FD. They are safe investment avenues that help you grow your savings, without risk to your principal amount. You must invest in Fixed Deposits if you’re looking for: (1) Diversifying your investments (2) Higher returns with stability Flexibility in terms of tenor and pay out (3) Most risk-averse investors invest in FDs for their stability and assured returns. Since your returns are unaffected by market forces, you can look for assured returns.

Choosing the right FD scheme is very important to get the best returns out of your investment. You must consider the following factors: 1. Rate of interest , 2. Credibility of FD provider, 3. Tenure, 4. Interest pay out frequency, and 5. Penalty rates. You will get one of the highest interest rates and you can choose your tenure and interest pay out frequency.

They are of two types – Cumulative and Non-Cumulative. In case of Cumulative FDs, the interest is compounded every quarter or annually, and paid at the time of maturity. In a Non-Cumulative FD, interest is paid out periodically, as per the investor’s choice. The regular interest pay outs can help you meet your daily expenses. Though both FDs offer better returns than a savings account, cumulative FDs help you earn higher returns.

A TDS refers to the Tax Deducted at Source and as per the Section 194A of the Income Tax Act of 1961, interest that is earned from investing in fixed deposits floated by NBFCs and banks is taxable in case it crosses Rs. 5,000/Rs. 10,000 depending on the type of financial institution. The interest income for a single depositor will be computed after taking all his/her fixed deposits into account. The TDS is calculated by the financial institution and is paid into the requisite Government account depending upon the frequency of interest pay outs to the investor. The TDS certificate is given to the investor on a quarterly basis. In case the investor furnishes Form 15G/15H during the application stage for a fixed deposit, he/she will not have to pay tax on interest income. This can be furnished when the investor’s total income is lower than the taxable limit. Form 15G/H is valid for one financial year.

You have two options before you, namely Cumulative Fixed Deposits or Non-Cumulative Fixed Deposits. In case of Cumulative Fixed Deposits, the interest you earn on the principal amount will be compounded annually. This means that you can grow your wealth steadily and get the entire interest income paid out at the time of maturity along with the principal amount. There are no periodic pay outs of interest income and this scheme can actually multiply your money in a bigger way if you are disciplined enough and do not need regular interest income pay outs. In case of the non-cumulative FD scheme, the interest you earn on your principal amount will be paid out at regular intervals. This can be on a monthly or quarterly basis or even on a semi-annually or yearly basis. Now this scheme is ideal if you need the interest income paid out at periodic intervals. It all depends on your own circumstances and the goals you have from your FD, i.e. earning regular interest income or simply growing wealth for a specific tenure without any regular income needs. Apart from choosing between these two types, you should also select the best fixed deposit plan based on other parameters which are the following: (1) Rates of interest - You should always go for the highest possible rates of interest. (2) Tenure - You should choose flexible tenure as per your convenience. (3) Terms & Conditions - You should always choose a fixed deposit plan where you have convenient interest pay outs and keep in mind extra rates for senior citizens among other aspects. (4) Other features - Go for financial institutions which offer you online access to your fixed deposit account along with easy application and payment procedures.
