As a young investor, if you are looking for a secure investment option, fixed deposits can be a great start. FD offers a fixed rate of interest, which means you can predict how much you'll earn on your investment. When considering fixed deposits, you need to compare interest rates offered by different banks and financial institutions and check the minimum deposit required to earn the advertised interest rate.

It is essential to consider financial goals and investment tenure when choosing the right deposit scheme. A longer investment tenure can provide higher interest rates, but keep in mind that you would be unable to withdraw your funds before maturity.

Things to consider before making any investment decision

There are few things you should consider before making an investment.

  1. You should develop a clear understanding of your financial goal and risk tolerance.
  2. Consider how well the investment might perform. You should assess the potential of the investment, including past performance, future market trends, and realistic expectations of return on investment.
  3. Compare different investment options and choose the one that offers the best balance between risk and return. Additionally, you should ensure that you invest in a regulated and reputable institution and read the terms and conditions of the investment agreement carefully.

It is also useful to seek the opinion of a financial advisor before making any investment decisions. By considering these factors, you can minimise risk and maximise the potential return on your investments, ultimately improving your long-term financial security and growth.

TDS on fixed deposit

TDS refers to Tax Deducted at Source. Banks and NBFC’s deduct a certain percentage as tax before crediting the interest earned on fixed deposits to the account of the depositor. The deducted amount is then given to the central government. Currently the TDS rate on FD is 10%. It is applied if the interest income exceeds a specified threshold, which is currently Rs. 40,000 per annum for individuals and Rs. 50,000 for senior citizens.
