Fixed deposits are great investment options for the ones with a traditional point of view of saving, but then there's a constraint of not having liquidity options when financial needs suddenly crop up.
Punjab National Bank (PNB) offers its customers an option to open a fixed deposit account that allows them to benefit from preferential interest rates and also allows premature cancellation of the deposit at any given point of time. This specific scheme is known as PNB Anupam Term Deposit.
