What is Fixed Deposit (FD), and How Does it Work?

A fixed deposit is a secured and convenient investment option for instrument wherefrom investors to earn assured returns against a fixed rate of interest. Fixed deposit accompanies a higher interest yield compared to a savings account, and therefore, the money grows at an accelerated rate throughout the tenure. Since FDs assure fixed returns after maturity, you can fulfill any short or long-term financial goal without investment risks.

The depositor needs to open a fixed deposit account with at least a minimum amount for Fixed Deposit, which is Rs. 5,000 for Kotak Mahindra Bank. The amount remains fixed for a pre-determined time period against the promise of a specific interest rate.

There are multiple interest withdrawal options for a fixed deposit. With Kotak Mahindra Bank, you choose among cumulative, monthly, or quarterly pay-out options of the FD interest amount.

We also allow depositors to withdraw fixed deposit funds partially or prematurely, ensuring better flexibility of fund usage.
