Unlike cumulative FDs that offer earnings at maturity, non-cumulative FDs provide monthly payouts and offer a steady source of income. This can be a welcome addition to your finances when you have recurring expenses to fulfil.
With some issuers offering interest rates of up to 9% p.a., the monthly interest on an FD of ₹35 Lakhs could come to ₹26,250 when booked for 5 years. Opting for an investment with regular payouts could help build financial security over time.
Along with factors like the tenor and the investment amount, the passive income you earn on an FD depends on the interest rates. With a higher rate, you could receive a sizable amount as the monthly payout.
