Fixed deposit (FD) is a type of short-term investment where you can put your money and agree not to take it out for a set length. When the terms are over, investors will get higher interest rates than they would on regular savings accounts! The government insures it, so there is not much risk involved in this choice.
Interest rates
You should know the interest rates upon maturity to ensure you gain a great amount of return. Interest rates differ from bank to bank and tenure to tenure.
Tenure
Different banks offer different tenures, ranging from 1 month to a few years. Choose the one that suits your needs and financial goals.
Hidden fees
It is crucial to identify all costs incurred to avoid spending more than expected.
Penalty
You should be informed of the penalty amount to know what to expect if you need to withdraw the money before maturity.
