Frequently Asked Questions

How is FD interest calculated?

Banks compound FD interest, usually quarterly: maturity = P × (1 + r/4)^(4 × years). For example ₹1,00,000 at 7% for 5 years grows to about ₹1,41,478.

Is FD interest taxable?

Yes — FD interest is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate. Banks deduct 10% TDS when interest crosses ₹40,000 a year (₹50,000 for senior citizens); submit Form 15G/15H if your income is below the taxable limit.

Which compounding option should I pick?

Quarterly — it's what almost every Indian bank uses for FDs. Only change it if your deposit's terms say otherwise.
