A fixed deposit (FD) is a financial instrument provided by banks and financial institutions where an individual deposits a certain amount of money for a fixed period at a predetermined interest rate.
The deposited amount cannot be withdrawn until the maturity date of the deposit, which can range from a few days to several years.
Fixed deposits typically offer higher interest rates compared to regular savings accounts, making them a popular choice for individuals looking to earn higher returns on their savings with minimal risk.
