A fixed deposit is a type of financial instrument provided by banks and NBFCs that offers a higher rate of interest when compared with a savings account. A lump-sum sum amount is deposited into an FD account for a specific tenure at an agreed rate of interest. Since such deposits are not impacted by the fluctuations in the market, it is among the safest investment options available. Fixed deposits are also referred to as term deposits.
