Comparison Of Bank Of India, SBI, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank FD Interest Rates

Bank fixed deposits (FD) are financial instruments that provide investors a higher rate of interest than a regular savings account, until the given maturity date. It may or may not require the creation of a separate account. Some FDs come with a premature withdrawal facility - these are basically regular FDs which do not offer you tax benefits. FDs which offer tax benefits come with a lock-in period of minimum five years. However, a taxpayer can claim a maximum tax deduction of only Rs. 1.5 lakh under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act in a financial year.
