Factors influencing the maturity amount:

HDFC FD Calculator

In this section, we will better understand how the maturity amount on an HDFC FD is calculated. Let’s say, you make a principal investment of Rs.1 lakh at an interest rate of 7.25% for 1 year, the total amount payable including interest at the time of maturity will add up to around Rs. 1,07,250. This will be the case if the interest is calculated on a year-on-year basis. The total interest earned on the investment will be Rs.7,250. The interest earned will vary if the interest is computed on a quarterly or monthly basis.

The maturity amount is calculated by multiplying the rate of interest with the principal invested. The time period of the investment is also taken into consideration. This computation method will give you the total earnings on the investment in terms of interest earned and the maturity amount.

HDFC Bank pays interest on a regular basis on all non-cumulative deposits. When it comes to cumulative deposits, the interest is paid along with the interest earned at the time of maturity. Interest will be paid on a monthly, quarterly or half-yearly basis on all non-cumulative deposits depending on the type of scheme purchased and the mode of interest payment preferred by the customer.

* Interest rates may vary and can be changed, depending on the discretion of the bank. All interest rates will differ for senior citizens.

One of the main advantages of maintaining various FD accounts is the tax advantage it offers. It is possible to avoid Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) if an investor splits his/her term deposit across multiple banks. Also, if you have multiple FDs it will help at the time of an emergency.
