Canara Bank Fixed Deposit Rate

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is among the most popular financial instruments for investment. There are several reasons for this, the most significant being that FDs are a secure and flexible investment which provide a reasonable return on investment. Interest income on FDs is taxable unless you fill out the declaration in form 15G/H. However, your interest is guaranteed, and your principal is secure, and these two factors are extremely important for people with low risk appetite.

FDs are created for a specific term and the investor cannot generally withdraw the amount during the term except in special circumstances. A penalty is applicable for premature withdrawal. Most banks specify a minimum amount to be deposited. Fixed deposit terms range from 7 days to 10 years.

Different banks offer different variations of fixed deposit schemes. The following types of fixed deposits are available with Canara Bank.
