interest rate is predetermined and is based on how long you choose to keep the deposit. The returns on an FD are fixed when the account is opened, unlike market-led investments, where returns change over time. You will continue to earn the interest set at the beginning even if interest rates decline after you open a fixed deposit. The interest rate and type of deposit you select will determine our return on an FD. You can choose between receiving interest payments on a monthly or quarterly basis or reinvesting them to take advantage of compounding.
