Are fixed deposits right for your savings goals? Here's how to decide

Business

  • A fixed deposit FD means putting your money in a bank for a set time, and getting fixed interest on it.
  • If you need the money within 3 years, an FD is good — you know exactly how much you'll get back.
  • For long-term savings, an FD is safe but doesn't grow your money much, so use it alongside other options.
  • You have to pay tax on the interest you earn, and if you withdraw early, you get less interest than promised.
