What is a Fixed Deposit?

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a safe investment option where you deposit a lump sum amount for a fixed tenure, earning FD interest rates over time. FDs are ideal for customers seeking predictable returns and safety for their investments.

What are the tax implications of a Fixed Deposit?

FD interest rates are taxable under the Income Tax Act. If your FD earns more than the prescribed limit, TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) will be applied. For customers looking to save on taxes, tax saving FDs offer the dual benefit of earning interest while providing deductions under Section 80C.

Can I withdraw money from my fixed deposit before the maturity date?

Yes, you can terminate a deposit at any time, but there are penalties for the early closure. Use the "Manage" tab in the "Term Deposits" section of the DBS Bank app to know more.

What happens when my Fixed Deposit matures?

Is FD interest rate paid monthly?

Yes, DBS Bank offers non-cumulative Fixed Deposit options where interest can be paid out monthly, quarterly, or at maturity. Opting for monthly payouts may result in slightly lower interest rates compared to cumulative FDs, where interest is compounded and paid at maturity.

Which is best, RD or FD?

The choice between a Fixed Deposit (FD) and a Recurring Deposit (RD) with DBS Bank depends on your financial goals and saving habits.

Fixed Deposit (FD): Ideal if you have a lump sum to invest. Offers higher interest rates and flexible payout options.

Recurring Deposit (RD): Suitable for building savings through regular monthly contributions. Interest rates are comparable to FDs for similar tenures.

What documents are required to open a Fixed Deposit (FD) online with DBS Bank?

To open an FD online with DBS Bank, you only require an active DBS Bank Savings Account and sufficient balance. At the time of account opening, keep your Aadhaar card and Permanent Account Number (PAN) handy.

Is there a charge for insuring my deposits with DBS Bank?

How many deposits can I hold at the same time?

What if my deposit matures on a weekend or public holiday?

In case your term deposit matures on a weekend or a public holiday, the maturity will automatically happen on the next working day. However, the deposit will continue to earn interest for the extra days.

When will interest be paid on my deposit?

Do senior citizens get any extra benefits for term deposits?

How is the interest calculated if I withdraw my Fixed Deposit before it matures?

If you withdraw your deposit before maturity, your interest will be paid for the period of time that the deposit was held at either the prevailing rate on the original date of placement or the contracted rate, whichever is lower.

Can I get an overdraft / Deposit loan for my Fixed Deposit?

Yes, Fixed Deposits with a principal value of INR 50,000 and above are eligible for Overdraft. Similarly, FDs with a principal value of INR 25,000 and above can avail a Deposit Loan. You may please visit the nearest DBS Bank Branch for overdraft or deposit loan.
