What are fixed deposits and how do they work?

 

A fixed deposit is a type of savings account that offers a fixed interest rate for a specific period. You deposit a lump sum for a predefined duration, and in return, you receive returns at a fixed rate of interest, which is usually higher than a regular savings account.

 

Fixed deposit interest rates are determined by the duration of the deposit. Fixed deposit accounts usually offer guaranteed returns at a reasonably low risk.
