Frequently Asked Questions

Should I fill any form to avail loan facility against my deposit?

No. You don’t have to fill any form, provide a guarantor, or pay any processing fee to avail the loan facility against your deposit. The tenure for such a loan can be one day up to the maturity period of the deposit to meet short-term requirements.

What are the premature withdrawal policies in force?

The premature withdrawal policies may vary based on the FD account type. Some schemes will not impose any penalty in the case of premature withdrawal of deposits up to Rs.5 lakh if the deposit remained with the bank for a minimum of 12 months.

For deposits between Rs.5 lakh and Rs.1 crore, interest will be paid after reducing the applicable rate by 1% for the period the deposit has remained with the bank or the contracted rate, whichever is lower.
In the case of deposits above Rs.1 crore, 31 days’ notice period must be provided for premature withdrawal. Also, a penalty of 1.50% will be imposed on the applicable rate for the period the deposit remained with the bank.

When should I make a renewal request?

Ideally, you are required to make the renewal request before the current FD account matures. If you make a renewal request after the date of maturity, overdue deposits will be renewed with effect from the date of maturity at the rate applicable on the due date provided that the renewal request is made within 14 days from the date of maturity. After 14 days, the interest for the overdue period will be equal to the rate decided by the bank.

Can all types of account holders receive the advance facility?

The advance facility is not available for minor accounts in single name and HUFs.
