Charges to Know Before Investing in FDs

Before investing in a fixed deposit, it is important to understand the charges that may apply in certain scenarios. These charges could reduce your overall returns upon maturity, so it's crucial to account for them at the time of investment. Here are two charges you should be aware of:

Premature Withdrawal:

AU Small Finance Bank allows investors to withdraw fixed deposits prematurely with a 1% penalty on the offered interest rate. The interest paid will be lower than the prevailing rate at the time of booking or the contracted rate, minus the penalty. If the FD is withdrawn before the minimum tenure, no interest will be paid. Each FD has a predefined minimum period, which is mentioned at the time of booking.

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS):

TDS is applicable on interest earned from fixed deposits if the income exceeds ₹40,000 for individuals and ₹50,000 for senior citizens in a financial year. Non-taxable individuals can submit Form 15G (for those under 60 years) or Form 15H (for senior citizens) to claim exemption. These forms must be submitted at the start of the financial year or during FD booking. TDS is deducted at 10% if you have furnished PAN details and 20% if not.
