FAQ questions
Is the interest earned on FDs taxable?
Yes, the interest earned on a fixed deposit is taxable under the Income Tax Act, 1961. The tax deducted at source (TDS) by the bank is currently 10%. But that’s it. We don’t levy any surcharge or cess over and above it.
*Will there be a penalty if I withdraw prematurely from my FD?
One of the perks of owning an Axis Bank FD is having the option to withdraw prematurely, in times of need. No penalty will be charged on your first partial withdrawal of up to 25% of the principal amount. However, if you wish to withdraw the full amount from your fixed deposit before maturity, there will be a penalty of 1%.
What is the interest rate on an FD for senior citizens?
For senior citizens, the rate of interest presently is up to 0.65% more than the normal rate, depending on the tenure chosen.
Do I need to have an Axis bank savings account for opening an FD?
No. That’s the best part. When opening an Axis Bank FD on Scripbox, you do not need to open a savings bank account with the bank.
