Withdrawing money from your fixed deposit before maturity usually results in reduced returns on a ₹12 Crore fixed deposit interest per month. Banks and NBFCs often lower the interest rate compared to the original rate agreed upon, and most also impose a small penalty on the withdrawn amount. These factors can significantly reduce your overall earnings.
You invest ₹12 Crores in an FD with a 3-year tenure at an interest rate of 8.50% p.a. However, you decide to withdraw prematurely after 1 year and the interest rate for that period will be reduced to 7.50% p.a. After applying a 1% penalty for early withdrawal, the final interest rate drops to 6.50% p.a., leading to lower-than-expected returns.

Carefully assess tax implications on a ₹12 Crore FD to get an actual estimate of your returns. Here are a few important tax regulations for FD interest income:
If your total interest income exceeds ₹40,000 in a particular financial year, the bank or NBFC will deduct a Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) at 10%
Senior citizens can enjoy a higher exemption limit on FD interest earnings of up to ₹50,000 annually
If you have submitted your PAN details, the bank will deduct the standard rate of TDS at 10%

Use the facility provided above to get an estimate for your potential returns on a fixed deposit. Follow these simple steps to compute ₹12 Crore FD interest per month:
Input the investment amount, tenure, and interest rate
Choose the ‘Monthly’ option from the drop-down menu under the ‘Interest Payout’ category
You can check the estimate of total and monthly interest payouts
Assume you invested ₹12 Crores in an FD with an interest rate of 8.50% p.a. for a period of 3 years (36 months).
Monthly Interest Earned = Principal × Interest Rate / 12
Monthly Interest Earned = ₹12,00,00,000 × 8.50% / 12
Monthly Interest Earned = ₹12,00,00,000 × 0.085 / 12
So, the monthly interest earned on ₹12 Crore fixed deposit at 8.50% p.a. would be ₹8,50,000
Interest Earned Upon Maturity
Interest Earned On Maturity = Principal × Interest Rate × Time (in years) / 100
Interest Earned on Maturity = ₹12,00,00,000 × 8.50 × 3 / 100
The total interest accumulated over the 3-year tenure would amount to ₹30,60,00,000
