FDs above 12 months: Interest compounded annually (calculated on both the principal amount and accumulated interest).
Premature Withdrawal:
Non-Callable FDs cannot be withdrawn before maturity.
Callable FDs can be withdrawn before maturity. Callable options are as follows:
Interest is calculated for the actual period the deposit was held.
A 0.5% penalty applies on the interest rate.
If the applicable interest rate is less than 0.5%, no interest is payable, but the principal is fully protected.
No interest is payable for deposits withdrawn within 7 days, and no premature withdrawal charges apply.
If the deposit has completed a tenure offered by the bank, interest on early withdrawal will be the lower of the rate for the completed tenure or the original tenure, minus 0.50%.
In some cases, the amount returned on premature withdrawal may be less than the principal, depending on the interest already paid.
