The minimum deposit amount is ₹5,000. There is no specific maximum limit for most FDs. 

Interest earned on FDs is taxable. Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is applicable if the interest exceeds ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens) in a financial year. There are certain tax benefits available on selected FDs such as the Five Year Tax Saving Fixed Deposit.

Investing in bank Fixed Deposits offers assured returns and capital protection with minimal risk. It provides a stable and predictable way to grow your savings. FDs offer flexible tenure options and competitive interest rates.

You can add a nominee when opening the FD account or update it later through NetBanking, visiting a branch or contacting customer service.

The Sweep-in facility links your savings or current account with the FD. It enables the automatic transfer of funds from FD to the account when the balance falls below a certain threshold.
