ICICI HFC Fixed Deposit

You can meet your financial goals, whether it’s stress-free day-to-day money management or creating a retirement fund. Since a fixed deposit is not market-linked, you can earn assured interest. ICICI HFC offers you a variety of tenure options ranging from 12 to 120 months. It also allows a premature withdrawal of fixed deposits. The ICICI HFC FD rates range from 5.10% to 6.70% depending on the tenure and type of FD.

Features of ICICI HFC FD

• Invest in your future with attractive interest rates that are unaffected by market fluctuations. ICICI HFC FD provides  monthly, quarterly, yearly, or compounded interest payments. ICICI HFC FD rates for  senior citizens are 0.25% higher to ensure a comfortable retirement.
• It is usually preferable to maintain your FD intact so that your money can continue to grow. However, if you have an emergency or sudden financial need you can withdraw before maturity. With the flexible tenure options, you can make withdrawals whenever you want. Depending on your demands, you can choose a duration of 1 to 10 years.
• The process of opening an ICICI HFC Fixed Deposit is straightforward and begins online. 
• You may start investing with as little as Rs10,000 and make monthly, quarterly or annual payments. FDs are a practical approach to making saving a habit while generating significant returns in a safe and secure manner.
• The ICICI HFC fixed deposits are rated by the highest credit rating agencies. CRISIL, ICRA, and CARE, reputable credit rating agencies, have assessed ICICI HFC Fixed Deposits as AAA Stable (highest level of safety).
• If you require a lump sum payment, you can take a loan against FD for up to 75% of the amount deposited against your FD. However, you will have to pay a rate of interest of 2% more than the rate on your deposit.

Premature Withdrawal of Fixed Deposit

• Premature withdrawals are not permitted during the first three months after deposit.
• The maximum interest due on withdrawals between 3-6 months will be the ICICI Bank’s minimum savings bank interest rate (not exceeding 4% p.a.) for individual depositors. Moreover, “No Interest” for all other depositors.
• You will receive 2% less than the ICICI HFC Fd rates applicable to you at the time of FD creation if you withdraw between 6 and 12 months.
• Withdrawals made after 12 months and up to the date of maturity will earn you 1% less than the rate the company would have paid if the deposit had been accepted for the relevant period.
