FAQs For Fixed Deposit
1. How Does A Fixed Deposit (FD) Work?
A Fixed Deposit (FD) is an investment instrument that promises a fixed rate of interest.
Fixed Deposits work on the principle of tenure-based investing. When you invest in a Fixed Deposit, you have the option to choose a tenure (also known as ‘term’). When you select a tenure, say, 1 year or 10 years, you are deciding to block your money for a pre-defined period of time.
Each tenure comes with a pre-determined interest rate. Generally, the longer the tenure, the higher the interest rate will be. Although FDs come with a fixed tenure, you can easily withdraw from it in case of an emergency with penalty. ICICI HFC Fixed Deposits offer a combination of attractive interest rates, liquidity & covers against market volatility.
2. Is Fixed Deposit Interest Paid Monthly?
You have the option of opening a Fixed Deposit in auto closure / auto renew mode under either of the non-cumulative or cumulative schemes. The growth of your FD investment depends on the applicable interest rate and the frequency of interest paid.
Under the non-cumulative scheme, Fixed Deposit interest would be paid on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis depending on the scheme opted by you. In cumulative deposits, the FD interest is accumulated with the deposit amount, which is eligible to earn interest on annual compounding principle. The principle as well as the accumulated interest is paid to the customer only upon maturity or premature withdrawal.
