Different Types of RBL Bank FD Schemes

  • Digital Fixed Deposit:

A Digital Fixed Deposit is a fixed deposit which can be opened and managed entirely online through the RBL Bank’s website or RBL MoBank App. You can deposit a lump sum of money for a fixed period at a fixed interest rate. This scheme gives you a guaranteed return on your deposits.

  • ACE Fixed Deposit:

ACE Fixed Deposit is a domestic term deposit in which the depositor gets a differential interest rate over the normal fixed deposit rate for deposits of Rs.1 crore and above. However, the depositor must surrender the premature withdrawal option. The tenure of this account can be minimum of 12 months to a maximum of 120 months.

  • Regular Fixed Deposit:

The scheme allows you to earn attractive returns when you deposit a lump sum for a minimum period of seven days. The maximum tenure allowed under the scheme is 10 years. The scheme offers partial/premature withdrawal on your deposit.

  • Senior Citizen Fixed Deposit:

This scheme is dedicated to senior citizens, i.e., individuals aged 60 and above but below 80. You can get an additional 0.5% interest rate over and above the interest rate applicable to the regular scheme. Most other features of the scheme remain the same as those of the Regular FD scheme.

  • Super Senior Citizen Fixed Deposits:

This scheme is dedicated to super senior citizens, i.e., individuals aged 80 and above. You can get an additional 0.75% interest rate over and above the interest rate applicable to the regular scheme. Most other features of the scheme remain the same as those of the Regular FD scheme.

  • Flexi Sure Fixed Deposit:

A savings/current account will be linked to the FD account opened under this scheme. You can enjoy good returns along with a high liquidity factor under the scheme. Any shortfall in the linked savings account will be balanced by breaking the exact amount from the FD account. The remaining FD account balance will continue to earn interest at the agreed-upon rate. Note that multiple FD accounts can be linked to a single savings account.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FD interest rate in RBL Bank?

RBL Bank provides FD interest rates from 3.50% to 8.10% per annum to the general public and from 4.00% to 8.60% per annum to senior citizens for tenures ranging from 7 days to 10 years where the deposit amounts are below Rs. 3 crore and there is no premature withdrawal option.

Can I open an FD account even if I do not have a PAN?

You can open an FD account without providing PAN. In this case, the TDS applicable, if any, will be 20% in the place of 10% with PAN.

How does the bank decide if simple interest applies to an FD account or compound interest?

If the deposit tenure you have chosen is within 181 days, then simple interest will be applied. For tenures starting from 181 days, i.e. above six months, compound interest will be applied.

Is there a penalty on premature withdrawal? Is it applicable to all account holders?

A penalty of 1% will be applied while calculating the interest component in the event of premature withdrawal. However, there is an exemption to senior citizens. The penalty of 1% will not be applied when senior citizens make an early withdrawal.
