    For a monthly payout Fixed Deposit, calculate interest using the annualised monthly payout rate, rather than the cumulative at-maturity rate. Suppose a customer below 60 invests Rs. 50,000 for 60 months at the applicable monthly payout rate of 7.49% p.a.


    Annual interest = Rs. 50,000 × 7.16% = Rs. 3,580

    Monthly interest = Rs. 3,580 ÷ 12 = Rs. 298.33

    Total interest over 60 months = Rs. 3,580 × 5 = Rs. 17,900

    Total ROI = Rs. 17,900 ÷ Rs. 50,000 × 100 = 35.80%

Taxation on the 50,000 FD interest rate

  • Interest earned from a Fixed Deposit is added to taxable income and taxed according to the investor’s applicable income-tax slab. For an NBFC deposit, TDS generally applies when aggregate annual interest exceeds Rs. 10,000 under the currently applicable threshold. TDS is generally deducted at 10% when valid PAN details are available and 20% when PAN details are unavailable. A single Rs. 50,000 deposit earning these rates generates less than Rs. 10,000 annually, but other deposits with the issuer also count. Eligible investors may submit Form 15G or Form 15H when they satisfy the applicable conditions for receiving interest without TDS.


    Penalty for withdrawing an Rs. 50,000 FD before maturity

    Premature withdrawal can reduce the interest received, so investors should review their liquidity requirements before choosing an investment tenure.

    Withdrawal periodApplicable treatment
    Within three monthsGenerally not permitted, except after the depositor’s death or where RBI rules allow
    After three months and within six monthsPrincipal is returned without interest
    After six months and before maturityInterest is generally 2% p.a. below the rate applicable for the completed tenure
    No rate available for completed tenureInterest is generally 3% p.a. below the minimum rate offered

    Investors can request premature withdrawal through the Bajaj Finance service portal, subject to verification and applicable terms.

    1. Safety and stability

    Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit offers assured returns unaffected by market movements and carries CRISIL AAA/STABLE and [ICRA]AAA(Stable) ratings. These ratings indicate high credit stability, but investors should still understand the issuer’s terms before completing their investment.

    2. Flexible tenure

    3. Liquidity

    Premature withdrawal is available under specified conditions, although withdrawing early can result in reduced interest or no interest. A loan against Fixed Deposit may also provide liquidity, with the available amount depending on the deposit type and applicable conditions.

    4. Liquidity needs

    5. Age

  • What to know before investing in a Rs. 50,000 Fixed Deposit?

    Before investing, compare the payout frequency, applicable interest rate, taxation, premature withdrawal rules, and credit ratings of the issuer.

    1. Liquidity needs

    Keep adequate emergency savings outside the Fixed Deposit if you may require immediate access to money during the selected tenure.

    2. Tax implications

    Calculate post-tax income because the monthly amount displayed before tax may exceed the amount you retain after income-tax liability.

    3. Interest rate comparison

    Compare like-for-like rates because cumulative, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and annual payout options can carry different annualised rates.

    4. Issuer’s reputation

    Review the issuer’s credit ratings, repayment record, deposit conditions, and regulatory disclosures before making your investment decision.
