Bank FD
A Fixed Deposit (FD) is one of the oldest and safest ways to invest that banks and other financial companies in India give. With a fixed account, you put away a big sum of money for a set amount of time at a set interest rate.
You put money in a bank account for a certain amount of time, and the bank agrees to pay you interest at a certain rate.
Fixed deposits have higher interest rates than savings accounts because the money is locked in for a set amount of time.
How a Fixed Deposit Works
✅ You give the bank a set amount of money.
✅ You pick a length of time (from 7 days to 10 years).
✅ The bank's interest rate is always the same.
✅ There are four ways to get interest: monthly, quarterly, yearly, or at maturity.
✅ You get your capital back plus interest at the end of the term.
During the term, the interest rate stays the same, even if market rates change.
