Who Should Invest in SBI Fixed Deposits?

SBI Fixed Deposits give utmost safety coupled with stable returns. If you’re also looking for these two things, i.e. complete safety of your savings, as well as decent but guaranteed interest income, SBI FD is right for you.

Choose the cumulative mode of interest payment option if you’re looking to build a certain amount for a future requirement or simply to maximise returns. If you’re looking for regular interest income, the non-cumulative option would work the best for you. Here you will receive interest on a monthly basis.

If you’re of 60 years of age or above, we suggest you invest in SBI We Care which is a special senior citizen FD scheme. You will get a 0.80% extra rate of interest above the standard fixed deposit interest rates. However, you will need to stay invested for a minimum of 5 years to reap the benefits of this scheme.

SBI WE Care is valid till 31st March 2021 only.

SBI FD Calculator

SBI Fixed Deposit Calculator can be used to check the interest and maturity amount that the depositor shall get on maturity. Since SBI FD interest rates keep on changing, it is highly advisable to check the maturity amount as per the prevailing interest rates before investing in a fixed deposit.

The tool requires minimal information including the deposit amount and tenure for which this amount is to be deposited. Along with these two inputs, customers need to provide the rate of interest too on which maturity amount will be calculated.

Types of SBI Fixed Deposit Schemes

There are 5 different types of fixed deposit schemes offered by the State Bank of India, viz.:

  • Term Deposit
  • Tax Saving Scheme
  • FD Reinvestment Plan

SBI Fixed Deposit Premature withdrawal

State Bank of India provides the facility of making a premature withdrawal in some of its FD schemes. Premature withdrawal is when depositor takes out the deposit amount before the FD matures.

  • SBI Tax Saving Fixed Deposit Scheme does not come with premature withdrawal facility
  • The bank may charge a penalty of 0.5% to 1% on withdrawing the FD prematurely
  • For NRO accounts, if the deposit is withdrawn before 7 days of booking, no interest shall be payable
  • Interest @1% less than the applicable SBI FD rates shall be paid if deposits are withdrawn after 1 year of booking an NRO FD

Credit Card against FD

In times of need, we often resort to liquidating our fixed deposit(s). Doing this makes us lose on the prospective returns on the said FD and with a falling trend in interest rates; it’s unlikely to get similar returns on a new FD. Therefore to combat such a situation, you can resort to a credit card against FD. SBI offers its Unnati credit card with a minimum deposit of Rs. 25,000.

Another option is Paisabazaar Step Up Card which is being offered in collaboration with the SBM Bank (India) Ltd. You can get this card on a minimum FD of Rs. 12,000. The application process is completely digitized and you get your virtual Step Up credit card as soon as your FD Plan is verified against your linked savings account.

SBI Loan against FD

Apart from stable returns, SBI also provides the facility to take a loan against FD. This comes handy in times of financial urgency. Bank offers the option of taking a loan of up to 90% of the total balance in the FD. If the depositor is not able to repay the loan, the bank uses FD to recover the amount.
