🛡️ Fixed Deposit (FD) — A Reliable Wealth Builder

"Fixed Deposits remain one of India's favorite investment choices due to their guaranteed returns and capital protection. Whether you are saving for a child's education or your own retirement, FDs provide the stability your portfolio needs."

⚙️ How it Works

When you open an FD, you lock in your money at a fixed rate for a fixed period. Even if market interest rates fall later, your FD rate stays the same, protecting your income from volatility.

🛡️ DICGC Insurance

Your deposits in scheduled banks are insured by the DICGC (a subsidiary of RBI) up to ₹5 lakh, including both principal and interest. This makes FDs safer than many other private investments.

🪜 FD Laddering

Split your money into multiple FDs with different maturities. This ensures liquidity while capturing high interest rates for long-term buckets.

🧾 TDS & Taxes

TDS at 10% applies if annual interest > ₹40k (₹50k for seniors). Submit Form 15G/15H if your total income is tax-free to avoid TDS.
