ABCD has strategically partnered with upswing to introduce an innovative feature within our app—offering a range of deposits from both leading banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs).
Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It provides deposit insurance that works as a protection cover for bank deposit holders when the bank fails to pay its depositors. The agency insures all kinds of deposit accounts of a bank, such as savings, current, recurring, and fixed deposits up to a limit of Rs. 5 lakh per account holder per bank. All your FDs booked with a bank (and not NBFCs) will thus be insured upto INR 5 lakh.
The interest rate depends on your age, gender, period of deposit, type of fixed deposit scheme, the current repo rate, and the financial institution with whom you make the deposit.
If you are not a senior citizen, the interest earned from a fixed deposit scheme would be taxed in your hands at your income tax slab rates. Senior citizens, however, can enjoy tax-free interest income up to Rs.50,000 under Section 80TTB.
You can make premature withdrawals through the ABCD app. The withdrawal, however, attracts a penalty which reduces your interest earnings.
A cumulative fixed deposit scheme is one which accumulates the interest earned till maturity. The interest earned is reinvested with the deposit for future interest earnings. On maturity, the total interest earned and the deposited amount are paid out in a lump sum.
A non-cumulative fixed deposit scheme is one where the interest earned is paid out as regular income. You can choose the income payment frequency and the interest income is paid out in the chosen frequency. On maturity, the deposited amount is paid back.
No, once fixed, the interest rate does not change over the deposit tenure.
Minors can invest in the fixed deposit scheme. However, in the case of minors, the parent or guardian can invest in the fixed deposit scheme on the minor’s behalf.
Senior citizens enjoy a higher interest rate on their fixed deposits. Moreover, the interest earned is allowed as a tax-free income up to Rs.50,000 under Section 80TTB.
Yes, NRIs can also invest in fixed deposit schemes with an Indian financial institution.
Yes, fixed deposit holders can name a nominee of their choice.
Yes, depositors will receive money upon premature closure of a fixed deposit. However, there could be specific penalties and interest rate deductions as per the rules of your bank/NBFC.
mv = (p X r X t) / 100
in which
mv = maturity value
p = principal amount deposited
r = rate of interest
t = tenure of the FD
Yes, a minor can open a fixed deposit account through their legal guardian or parents.
While a systematic deposit plan requires consistent, fixed amounts to be deposited in your FD over a period of time, a regular fixed deposit involves a lumpsum deposit. An SDP can be said to provide certain benefits of both FDs and SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans).
In a cumulative FD, the interest earned in regular cycles of your tenure is reinvested and added to your principal. Thus, in the next cycle, you can earn through this escalated amount as well as additional interest.
A fixed deposit is a lumpsum investment that is held over a period of time of your choice, at the end of which maturity and withdrawal is possible. In a recurring deposit, you break your total investment down in equal parts and keep adding a part consistently at regular intervals till the end of the tenure.
For example, you can invest ₹10,000 at once in an FD, or invest ₹1000 every month over a period of 10 months in an RD.
Yes, your PAN card is a necessary part of the KYC documents required for opening a fixed deposit.
