To help you understand how these special deposits work, here are illustrations for two key Union Bank of India FD schemes with sample maturity calculations.
The 444-day FD is designed for customers seeking short-to-medium-term growth with flexibility. If a depositor invests ₹1,20,000 at 6.50% p.a. (general citizen):
Simple Interest:
(₹1,20,000 × 6.50 × 1.22) / 100 = ₹9,516
Maturity Value: ₹1,20,000 + ₹9,516 = ₹1,29,516
Compound Interest (Quarterly):
A = ₹1,20,000 × (1 + 0.065 / 4)^(4 × 1.22)
A ≈ ₹1,29,580
Compound Interest Earned: ₹9,580
Senior Citizen (7.00%) Maturity: ≈ ₹1,30,500
Super Senior Citizen (7.15%) Maturity: ≈ ₹1,30,850
