FD Maturity Calculation Formula
A = P × (1 + r/n)n×t
Where A = Maturity amount, P = Principal, r = Annual interest rate, n = Compounding frequency per year, t = Tenure in years.
FD vs SIP - Which is Better?
FDs offer guaranteed returns (6-8%) with zero risk, making them ideal for short-term goals and emergency funds. SIPs in equity mutual funds offer potentially higher returns (12-15%) but with market risk, making them better for long-term wealth creation. A balanced portfolio typically includes both.
Tax on FD Interest
FD interest is taxable as per your income tax slab. Banks deduct TDS at 10% if interest exceeds ₹40,000/year (₹50,000 for senior citizens). You can submit Form 15G/15H to avoid TDS if your total income is below the taxable limit.
