If you plan to invest a substantial amount of money in a fixed deposit, take advantage of the many flexible payout options offered by issuers. Depending on the amount invested, you can choose to utilise the returns to fulfil various financial obligations.
On maturity, these interest earnings could be quite substantial due to the large sum deposited of say, ₹10 Lakhs.

These can include paying education fees, vehicle repair expenses, and miscellaneous household expenses, among others.
