Understanding IDBI Bank Fixed Deposits
IDBI Bank offers a variety of Fixed Deposit (FD) schemes designed to cater to different financial needs, ranging from short-term liquidity to long-term wealth creation. Fixed Deposits are one of the safest investment avenues in India, offering a guaranteed rate of return over a fixed period.
How the IDBI FD Interest is Calculated
IDBI Bank generally follows the quarterly compounding method for reinvestment deposits. This means the interest is calculated every three months and added back to your principal, allowing you to earn interest on interest. For deposits with a tenure of less than 6 months, simple interest is usually applied at maturity.
The formula used for quarterly compounding is:
- A: Maturity Amount
- P: Principal Deposit Amount
- r: Annual Interest Rate (as a decimal)
- n: Number of compounding periods per year (4 for quarterly)
- t: Total tenure in years
