Are Fixed Deposit returns guaranteed?

Yes. Fixed Deposits generally provide guaranteed returns based on the interest rate offered by the financial institution at the time of investment, provided the deposit is held until maturity.

How is FD interest calculated?

FD interest is usually calculated using compound interest. The final maturity amount depends on the principal amount, interest rate, compounding frequency, and investment tenure.

Can I withdraw my FD before maturity?

Most banks allow premature withdrawal of Fixed Deposits, but an interest penalty or reduced interest rate may apply depending on the institution's terms and conditions.

Are Fixed Deposits better than savings accounts?

Fixed Deposits typically offer higher interest rates than standard savings accounts, making them suitable for funds that do not need immediate access.
