State Bank of India (SBI) customers can easily close their Fixed Deposit (FD) account online before maturity. The bank recently took to social media and even posted a video on Twitter to create awareness about how to preclose an FD online.
This is applicable to customers holding ETDR/STDR e-term deposits.
How to Close an SBI FD Online
All customers will receive an alert once their FDs are closed and their bank account will be credited with the FD amount. It is advisable to initiate the closure between 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. for immediate closure.
Before making a decision to invest in an FD, it is always wise to calculate the maturity value that you will get. To compute this amount, there are various factors that need to be considered. First, let us take a look at the various factors influencing maturity amount.
Factors affecting maturity amount:
An FD calculator is used to calculate the total maturity amount by feeding in the required data. To calculate the total amount due to the customer after the completion of the deposit tenure, the data required is the principal amount, rate of interest, compounding frequency and the time period for which the deposit is held.
For example, if an investment of Rs.1 lakh is made for 1 year at the rate of 6.25% p.a., the maturity value will approximately add up to 1,06,250. Here the total interest earned on the principal will be Rs.6,250 p.a. The interest has been compounded annually.
On the other hand, if the interest is computed on a quarterly basis for the same principal, rate of interest and tenure, the total interest earned will be Rs.6,398 and the maturity value will be 1,06,398.
Also, please note that if you go for a cumulative FD, the maturity amount and interest will be paid at the end of the tenure. However, in case of a non-cumulative FD, the interest is paid at regular periods of time, say monthly, quarterly or half-yearly.

Fixed Deposits (FDs) are one of the most popular modes of investment within the Indian market. It is relatively safe because of its aversion to market variations. An investor can either choose to receive the associated interest income at periodic intervals or get the total interest at the end of the maturity period. Term Deposits or FDs either come with an option of premature withdrawal or a lock-in period. Premature liquidation of an FD is usually coupled with a penalty.
Popular banks such as the State Bank of India (SBI) or HDFC offer FDs with the facility of premature withdrawal. For deposits up to Rs.5 lakh, SBI charges a penalty of 0.50%. Meanwhile, deposits within Rs.5 lakh and Rs.1 crore come with a penalty of 1%. In case an investor withdraws funds within 7 days of opening the FD account, they will not receive an interest income. HDFC charges a penalty of 1% for premature liquidation of an FD. In case of a withdrawal within 7 days and 14 days, the depositor would not receive any interest.
