Keep these things in mind before getting FD
Do not invest the entire money in a single FD
If you are planning to invest Rs 10 lakh in FD in any one bank, then instead invest in 9 FDs of Rs 1 lakh and 2 FDs of Rs 50,000 in more than one bank. Do it. With this, if you need money in the middle, you can arrange money according to your need by breaking the FD in the middle. Rest of your FD will be safe.
For how many years to invest in FD
fixed deposits, it is important to think carefully before deciding on its tenure. This is because if the investors withdraw the amount before maturity, they will have to pay the penalty. Breaking the FD before maturity will attract a penalty of up to 1 per cent. This can reduce the total interest earned on the deposit. That’s why choosing a tenure without understanding can get you in trouble. Long term FDs should be avoided in the greed of high interest.
Withdrawal of Interest
Earlier in the bank there was an option to withdraw interest on quarterly and yearly basis, now some banks can also do monthly withdrawal. You can choose it according to your need.
