Benefits of HDFC Fixed Deposit

The major benefits of investing in HDFC fixed schemes are as follows:

• Financial security- The financial security offered in fixed deposits is excellent. You won’t have to worry about losing your invested capital as FDs are safe from market fluctuations.

• Ease and feasibility- The ease and flexibility of opening the fixed deposits are very high. Attractive interest rates and a high return on investment might appeal to you. However, certain terms and conditions may apply to the deposit scheme. 

• Increased interest rates for senior citizens- This is perhaps the best benefit of having an HDFC fixed deposit. The regular interest rate for a five-year fixed deposit scheme is 5.30%. For senior citizens, an addition of 0.5% is done, making it 5.80%. Another 0.25% rise may happen based on periodical offers.

• Nomination facility through net banking- In a fixed deposit scheme, you have the option to use net banking for making nominations for the scheme. Usage of an online process like net banking makes it an even easier process. All choices supporting the investment decision can be managed using online facilities.

• Monthly/quarterly interest payouts available- You have the option to select the type of interest payout. It could be monthly or quarterly. TDS will also be calculated based on this. A final clarification can be made on this subject once you make the investment decision with HDFC.

How to Invest in an HDFC Fixed Deposit?

You can invest in the HDFC bank fixed deposit scheme for 5 years and opt for corresponding interest rates. You can also choose to invest via online or offline modes at your convenience. If you are booking an FD offline, you can visit your nearest HDFC branch or an authorized dealer. You may speak with the representatives and complete the deposit process as required.

If it is an online process, then this is how you can invest:

• Login to the HDFC online portal using the required credentials.

• Provide details as asked for verification.

• Pick your account which you wish to connect with the deposit scheme.

• Now, create the FD using your mobile phone number and OTP received.

• Re-confirm your application, and the process is finished.

If you are looking for a five-year tax-saving fixed deposit, you have to respect the lock-in period. The charges of this scheme can be determined from the HDFC bank website. Rates of interest here will be applicable as per the prevailing interest rates for FD. The amount valuation is in multiples of Rs 100. The minimum value is Rs 100 whereas the maximum is Rs 1.5 lakhs.
