Top 5 Things You Need To Know Before You Deposit

1. Go for A Fixed Deposit with a Long Tenure:


The longer your tenure for fixed deposit, the more interest the bank is going to reward you with. So, make sure that, even if the amount payable every month is small, you pay them over a long tenure. Banks that are often well-known come up with special deposit periods to help enhance their ratio of deposit by offering special returns on specific tenures. Do look out for them.

2. Choose A Bank with High Credit Ratings :


When you want to get a fixed deposit from a bank make sure the bank has high credit ratings. This will ensure the safety of your bank and a rewarding experience when it comes to dealing with a bank.

3. Look out for Additional Benefits:


A lot of banks give you the advantage of getting a loan facility on fixed deposits when you are in urgent need of cash. Some banks may even offer insurances such as Personal Accident Cover as a free product for the customers.

4. Liquidity or Premature Withdrawal of Fixed Deposit


You have to check the premature withdrawal clause of the FD as banks provide higher rates of interest generally, but the withdrawal fee may not be revealed. It is important to negotiate exit load on premature withdrawals and compromise the liquidity aspect. You can check out this clause online from the bank and then make your decision.

5.Makes Sure Your Fixed Deposit Helps Your TDS Look Good


Once you have made an FD, you will declare the income through FD in the section Income from other Sources when you fill your tax returns. Under the Form 26AS the TDS payments deducted on your FD will be listed. This helps to make sure you save a little more on your taxes by treating your FD like a regular income.
