Calculation Summary
Understanding PNB Fixed Deposit Schemes
Punjab National Bank (PNB) is one of India's leading public sector banks, offering a variety of term deposit options for savers. Fixed Deposits (FDs) are a secure investment avenue where you deposit a lump sum for a fixed tenure and earn interest at a pre-determined rate.
How PNB Calculates Interest
Like most Indian banks, PNB typically calculates interest on term deposits on a quarterly compounding basis. This means the interest earned in one quarter is added to the principal, and interest for the next quarter is calculated on this increased amount. This "interest on interest" effect significantly boosts your returns over long tenures.
The formula used for quarterly compounding is:
A = P × (1 + r/400)(4 × t)
- A: Maturity Amount
- P: Principal Deposit
- r: Annual Interest Rate
- t: Tenure in Years
Special Rates for Senior Citizens
PNB offers preferential rates to older demographics:
- Senior Citizens (60-80 years): Usually receive an additional interest rate of 0.50% over the standard card rates.
- Super Senior Citizens (80+ years): May receive an additional interest rate of 0.80% over standard card rates.
Tax Implications (TDS)
Interest earned on Fixed Deposits is fully taxable. Banks are required to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) if the interest income exceeds ₹40,000 in a financial year (₹50,000 for senior citizens). However, submitting Form 15G or 15H can prevent TDS deduction if your total income is below the taxable limit.
