Factors that Affect FD Interest Rates
There are many factors that affect FD interest rates, some of which are given below:
Deposit Tenure: The lower the tenure, the lower will be the interest rate and the higher or medium range the tenure, the higher the interest rate will be.
Deposit Amount: Higher deposit amounts will fetch you higher interest rates, especially bulk deposits exceeding Rs.1 crore.
Depositor type: Senior citizens typically get 0.25% to 0.50% additional interest rate on fixed deposits.
The interest you can earn on your deposited amount depends on multiple factors, including the amount invested, tenure, rate of interest, interest computation frequency, and taxation. You can calculate the returns on your investment by
using an FD calculator. The entire process of calculating the amount is easy and hassle-free. All you need to do is enter the deposit term, choose the type of FD (reinvestment, quarterly, or monthly payment), the investment amount, the
date of account opening, and the interest rate.
The income you earn on your FD is termed as Income from Other Source and it is fully taxable.
Banks will not deduct TDS, if your interest income from fixed deposits is less than Rs.40,000 in a year.
You need to submit Form 15G and Form 15H to the bank at the beginning of the financial year. Banks will not deduct TDS following the form submission.
