You are liable to pay taxes on the interest income you receive from a fixed deposit. The interest income contributes to your overall tax obligation. Additionally, you need to be aware that interest from FDs is essentially added to your yearly income. Your tax bracket is calculated by considering your overall income. Since interest from fixed deposits is regarded as ‘income from other sources,’ it is taxable under TDS. The TDS is taken out immediately after the interest income is credited into your account. Here are a few points regarding tax on fixed deposits:
An Interest rate will be applicable for premature closure and this will be the lower amount of either of these:
The base rate will be applicable to all deposits amounting to less than Rs.2 crore on the date of booking your deposit. For all deposits that are more than Rs.5 crores, the base rate will be for Rs.5 crore as on the date of booking your deposit. For premature withdrawals, like sweep-ins and also partial withdrawals, HDFC Bank will levy a penalty of 1%. The penalty for premature withdrawal will not be applicable for any fixed deposits that are booked for a tenor of 7 days to 14 days.
The interest that you earn on your FD depends on several factors, including the amount, rate of interest, tenure, frequency of interest calculation, and taxation. To calculate the interest earned on your HDFC FD is hassle-free and simple. All you have to do is visit the online HDFC FD calculator to know the amount you can earn after maturity.
HDFC calculates interest as simple interest on deposits held for six months or less. For longer tenures, interest is compounded quarterly under the reinvestment option, while the monthly pay-out option calculates interest quarterly and pays it out every month at a discounted rate.
HDFC Bank allows you to meet your unexpected financial requirements without having to break your FD. Take a look at a few pointers regarding loans against fixed deposits:
HDFC Fixed Deposit offers tenures from 7 days to 10 years, with separate rate slabs for domestic, NRE and FCNR deposits and an extra premium for resident senior citizens on most tenures.

Compare the latest HDFC Bank FD rates above and open your fixed deposit online or at a branch.
An HDFC Fixed Deposit is a savings product where you invest a lump sum with HDFC Bank for a fixed tenure at a pre-agreed interest rate. HDFC Fixed Deposit tenures range from 7 days to 10 years and cover regular, tax-saving and NRI options. The deposit earns interest for the full term and is repaid with interest at maturity.
Residents, Hindu Undivided Families, sole proprietorship firms, partnership firms, limited companies and trust accounts can open an HDFC Fixed Deposit. NRIs can open NRE, NRO and FCNR fixed deposits with HDFC Bank instead. Eligibility and documentation vary slightly by the type of HDFC Fixed Deposit you choose.

Yes, HDFC Bank allows premature withdrawal from a fixed deposit account, though the bank applies a lower interest rate and a penalty on early closure. The applicable rate depends on how long the HDFC Fixed Deposit was actually held with the bank. Check the premature withdrawal rules above before closing your FD early.

An HDFC NRE Fixed Deposit is funded from foreign earnings and held in rupees, while an FCNR Fixed Deposit is held in a foreign currency, and both are meant for NRIs. An NRO Fixed Deposit is used to manage income earned in India. Senior citizen rates do not apply to any of these NRI deposit types.
Interest earned on an HDFC Fixed Deposit is added to your total income and taxed as 'income from other sources', with TDS deducted by the bank once it crosses the prescribed threshold. Whether you owe further tax depends on your overall income and the tax regime you choose. See the taxation section above for the current thresholds.
Yes, the five-year HDFC Tax Saving Fixed Deposit offers a tax benefit under Section 80C along with the safety of a fixed deposit.

You can use the online HDFC FD calculator to estimate the maturity amount for a given deposit. The FD rate tables above show the current rates used for this calculation.
Yes, HDFC Bank lets you take an overdraft against your fixed deposit instead of breaking it, as described above. Resident individuals, HUFs, and public and private limited companies can use this facility. Repayment with interest applies only to the amount you actually withdraw.
