Foreclose Your Loan Against FD

A loan against an FD is that type of loan where a person borrows money from a bank by keeping their Fixed Deposit as security. The bank gives the loan up to a certain percentage of the value of the FD. This loan facility is very helpful in fulfilling the short-term financial needs without breaking borrowers' FD and losing interest benefits.
