Posted on Thursday, October 24th, 2024 | By IndusInd Bank
If you are looking for a safe and reliable investment avenue, then fixed deposits can be the ideal option for you. They come with low risks and guaranteed returns, making them a safe haven for your savings.
But did you know that you can earn monthly interest on a fixed deposit which can act as a regular stream of income? If you are considering investing a large amount, such as ₹ 6 lakhs, you must first consider the monthly returns.
Do Fixed Deposits Provide Monthly Interest?
Yes, fixed deposits can provide monthly interest payouts. Banks offer a host of interest payout options as per the different needs of investors. You can choose to receive interest payouts monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly, or at the end of the tenure.
If you are looking for a regular income stream from your investments, the payout from the interest of a ₹ 6 lakh FD can be a good passive income option.
Calculating Monthly Interest on a ₹ 6 Lakh Fixed Deposit
To understand the ₹ 6 lakh FD interest per month, we need to look at several factors, such as the current interest rates and different tenures.
Let’s illustrate with an example using IndusInd Bank’s interest rates as on 25/07/2024:
For a Regular Citizen (below 60 years):
- Suppose the tenure you chose is: 2 years.
- The prevailing interest rate for this tenure is: 7.75% per annum.
Using these figures, the estimated ₹ 6 lakh FD interest earned over the entire tenure would be ₹ 99,557.
To determine the approximate ₹ 6 lakh FD interest rate per month, we divide the annual interest by 24 (number of months in two years).
Hence, ₹ 99,557 ÷ 24 = ₹ 4,148
So, you will receive ₹ 4,148 of interest payouts per month.
Similarly, you can calculate the monthly interest for various tenures and their applicable interest rates. You can also use an FD calculator to simplify the process.
Please note: The actual monthly interest on your fixed deposit may vary due to factors like compounding frequency.
