FD Pre Mature Withdrawal: Investment options that give fixed returns in India are preferred by people. Among these, fixed deposits are very popular. There is less risk in this, while returns are guaranteed. Investment in FD is not linked to the market, so there is no effect of market fluctuations in it. By the way, FD has a maturity period that you will have to deposit money for so many years. But the advantage is that money can be withdrawn even before the need. Although there is a loss of interest if you break the FD before maturity, you also have to pay some penalty on it. Which is different in different banks. In such a situation, you should know how to calculate the interest if FD is broken before time.
What happens premature Withdrawal?
The premature Withdrawal in FD allows investors to withdraw investment money before maturity if needed. Most of the time this happens in an emergency when money is needed suddenly. For this, investors have to pay a fixed amount to the bank as a penalty. It is usually in the range of 0.5 percent to 1 percent. However, some banks also provide this facility on zero penalties. At the same time, if the FD breaks just 7 days before maturity, then many banks do not take any charge on it.

How does interest get calculated?
Case-1: When interest on the maturity period is more than FD break time.
Example: 5 years maturity, but have to withdraw money in 1 year. There is a penalty of 1 percent for withdrawing money before time.
Investment: Rs 1 lakh
FD Tenure: 5 years
Interest on 5 years: 7 percent
Interest on 1 year: 6.5 percent
Amount on 1 year at the rate of 7 percent:
If you withdraw Rs 1,07,186 after 1 year, then the effective interest rate will be considered as 6.5 percent. At the same time, a 1 percent penalty will also be imposed on it. That is, here you will get interest at the rate of 5.5 percent.
The amount you get: Rs 1,05,614
Case-2: When the interest on the maturity period is less than the FD break time.
Example: 2 years maturity, but have to withdraw money in 1 year. But the interest on 2-year FD is less than 1-year FD. Here too, there is a penalty of 1 percent for withdrawing money before time.
Investment: Rs 1 lakh
FD Term: 2 years
Interest on 2 years: 6 percent
Interest on 1 year: 7 percent
Amount on 1 year at the rate of 6 percent:
If you withdraw Rs 1,06,136 after 1 year, then the effective interest rate will be considered as 6 percent only. At the same time, a 1 percent penalty will also be imposed on it. That is, here you will get interest at the rate of 5 percent.
The amount you get: Rs 1,05,095
