What is a fixed deposit
A fixed deposit, also known as term deposit, is a financial instrument where you can invest a principal amount to earn a fixed interest return through your chosen tenor. During the tenor, your money is locked-in. To ensure you do not lose out on higher returns on FDs, choose to invest with top NBFCs like Bajaj Finance that offer Fixed Deposits with FD interest rates up to 8.35 per cent for regular customers and up to 8.70 per cent for senior citizens.
Types of a fixed deposit
FDs are primarily of two types: cumulative FDs and non-cumulative FDs. You can differentiate between the two basis the way you can access the interest on your investment. In case of non-cumulative fixed deposits, you earn interest on chosen intervals, be it monthly, quarterly or annual. You can decide the frequency of your interest earnings as per your financial capabilities and access it as a regular income to fund daily expenses.
Alternatively, for cumulative FDs the interest is calculated through a quarterly or annual frequency. Here the interest then gets added to your invested sum. You will get to access this only at the end of your tenor along with the principal amount. The interest on cumulative FDs is higher as your interest gets added to your original corpus and earns you more, which is the power of compounding that FD offer.
Benefits of investing in Fixed Deposit
Fixed deposits are the safest investment avenue in the market, allowing you to pocket a high interest on your investment based on your chosen interest frequency. Picking the right issuer and a smaller frequency helps you generate more growth. Moreover, FDs give you a chance to accumulate funds to achieve your long-term objectives with ease. You can use the FD calculator to forecast the exact amount you earn, and plan your goals confidently.
FDs are a good way to bring financial discipline to the fore, as ideally, you cannot withdraw your investment until maturity. However, when you have an emergency, you can prematurely withdraw your investment by paying a small penalty. Additionally, you can take an affordable Loan against FD to continue earnings interest on your investment while addressing your urgent needs for money.
