  2. The interest rate depends on the length of the FD term.
  3. Upon maturity, the amount is credited directly to the savings or current account.
  4. The minimum amount is 10,000 and interest is credited monthly.

For pre- closure of FD:

  1. i)No interest will be paid if the FD is pre-closed within 3 months.
  2. ii)If the FD is pre-closed after 3 months but before maturity, the rate of interest is 1% less than the prevailing rate for the tenure the deposit has completed or savings rate whichever is higher.
