What Is a Fixed Deposit?
A fixed deposit is a financial investment option offered by banks and financial institutions. It enables individuals to deposit a sum of money for a predetermined period, typically ranging from a few days to several years, at a fixed interest rate. The principal remains fixed for the specified period, and interest is normally paid out on a regular basis or at maturity. Fixed deposits are known for their safety, stability and guaranteed yields, which make them a popular option for risk-averse investors looking to preserve capital and generate a consistent income.
