  • Tax saving FD: Tax saving FDs, unlike standard FDs, cannot be booked for less than a period of 5 years. The amount invested is exempt from tax under section 80C, but the interest generated from the FD is liable to be taxed.  
  • Fixed Deposit plus: Such FDs provide higher interest than regular FDs. The fixed deposit plus requires a minimum investment of 2 crores and investors can choose between compound and simple interest.
  • Auto Fixed Deposit: Auto fixed FD linked savings accounts so that money is automatically transferred from Savings Account to FD when the balance exceeds a predetermined limit and provides higher returns.
