What will you need to apply for a loan against FD

Before you apply for a loan against FD, you need to consider certain factors.

• Fixed deposit: Since this loan option is secured against a FD, it is a primary necessity for you to have a FD account in the first place. For those unaware of the term, fixed deposits are sums of money invested in an account that earns interest over a tenor.
• FD with same value as your loan amount: It is necessary for your FD to be of the same value as the loan you are borrowing. For example, for those borrowing a loan of Rs.1 lakh, their FD would have to be of the same value, or greater.
• Other investments: The loan against FD can work better for you if you have multiple investments. If you just have a single FD that generates cash, it would be risky to put that FD at stake. Hence, before you apply, make sure you have various investments that are yielding good returns.
• The tenure has to match: The tenor for FDs is the period over which the investment matures. A tenor for a loan against fixed deposits is the period over which you have to repay the loan amount. The tenor for your FD has to be the same as your loan tenor, and you have to repay the loan within the maturity duration of your fixed deposit.
• Clearing the eligibility criteria and application formalities: To apply for this option, like all other options, you have to match the eligibility criteria. You also have to go through all the application procedures and submit basic documentation.

What is the rate of interest on your loan against fixed deposit?

The rate of interest on your loan against fixed deposit is 2% more than the prevailing FD interest rates.

Why does the rate of interest on fixed deposits vary?

There are certain factors that affect the rate of interest on a fixed deposit. Interest rates usually increase if India’s GDP is on the rise. The converse also applies. Additionally, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) changes its monetary policy according to existing market variables like inflation or recession. If there are inflationary conditions, then RBI hikes repo rates, allowing banks to provide increased interest rates to depositors. This helps to stave- off rising costs, as a higher interest rate prompts more savings. Conversely, if there are recessionary conditions, RBI decreases the repo rates, with a corresponding decrease in the interest rates being provided by banks. When the rate of interest is lowered, it prompts any individual to borrow and spend more. Other factors that impact the rate of interests are the existing liquidity scenario along with the demand and supply situation.
