Why you should choose monthly interest for a ₹15 Lakhs FD 

When you invest a lump sum such as ₹15 Lakhs in an FD, you can choose to reinvest the interest (as in the case of a cumulative FD) or you can choose to have it paid out to you regularly (as in the case of a non-cumulative FD). If you choose the latter, you can even select the frequency of the payout, such as monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual payments. 

 

Here are some key reasons to choose the option of earning interest per month on your ₹15 Lakhs FD.

  • Better Returns 

You can earn higher interest on your ₹15 Lakhs FD than on your savings account, because fixed deposits carry a higher rate of interest than savings account interest rates. 

  • Flexible Tenor

Since fixed deposits typically have flexible tenor options ranging from 7 days to 10 years or more, you can get regular income over the long term via your ₹15 Lakhs FD interest per month.

  • Higher Rates for Senior Citizens

Senior citizens get the benefit of nominally higher interest rates on fixed deposits. So, if you are a retired person looking for a steady source of pension, this feature can benefit you greatly.

  • Guaranteed Returns 

The interest per month on ₹15 Lakhs FDs is also guaranteed and unaffected by market movements. This makes FDs a good choice for conservative investors.

Since there is no cap on the interest rates either way, there is also no cap on the monthly interest you can earn. The higher the interest rate, the higher the monthly interest (and vice versa).

  • ✔️Are ₹15 Lakh FDs taxable?

    The interest that you earn on your ₹15 Lakh fixed deposit is subject to tax under the head ‘Income From Other Sources.’ The rate of tax applicable is the same as the income tax slab rate that you fall under.

  • ✔️What is the eligibility criteria for a ₹15 Lakh fixed deposit?

    The eligibility criteria for a fixed deposit may vary slightly from one bank or NBFC to another. Broadly speaking, different categories of persons are eligible to open a fixed deposit. These categories include resident Indians, non-resident Indians, HUFs, trusts, sole proprietorships, partnership firms and more. 

  • ✔️How to calculate the FD interest on a ₹15 Lakh deposit?

    If the interest on your ₹15 Lakh deposit is paid out on a monthly basis, it is a case of simple interest, which is computed using the following formula. 

     

    Simple interest = (P x R x T) ÷ 100

     

    Here, P is the investment amount, R is the rate of interest and T is the tenor in years. 

     

    On the other hand, if you opt for a cumulative FD, you earn the benefit of compound interest, which is computed using the formula shown below. 

     

    Compound interest = P (1 + r/n)nt - P

     

    Here, P is the principal amount, r is the rate of interest, n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year and t is the investment period in years.
