Bank fixed deposits (FDs) are one of the most preferred saving tools in India. Bank FDs offer a wide range of tenures to choose from, ranging from 7 days to up to 10 years.
Fixed deposits can be broadly categorised into two types FDs with premature withdrawal and FDs without premature withdrawal. In case of any crisis, depositors can opt for easy premature withdrawal from their fixed deposits.
However, a certain amount may be required to be paid by the depositor as a penalty to the bank.
Here are key things to know about SBI’s premature withdrawal rules for fixed deposits (FDs):
-For premature withdrawal from SBI FDs up to ₹5 lakh, customers are required to pay a penalty of 0.50 per cent across all maturities.
-For premature withdrawal from SBI fixed deposits above ₹ 5 lakh but below ₹1 crore, the bank has fixed the penalty at 1 per cent for all tenors.
-No interest will be paid on deposits which remain for a period of less than 7 days.
