Critical decision facts

Rate, tenure, liquidity and booking conditions belong together.

A headline deposit rate is incomplete without the dated schedule, tenure band, customer category and premature-withdrawal rules.

Exact product-type evidence

Fixed deposit evidence stays in its own structure.

Specialist fields below remain source-scoped. Missing values stay missing; one banking product type is never used to manufacture facts for another.

Comparable tenure points

Rate anchors you can compare without reading a headline maximum.

Only tenure points directly represented by the reviewed bank schedule are stored. We do not interpolate a rate between published bands.

Fit & cautions

Who this record appears designed for—and what can break the fit.

Best-fit wording summarizes the published proposition. It is not individualized financial advice or an approval prediction.

Potential fit

Depositors who want a low entry amount, flexible payout choices and a bank that publishes both ordinary and non-callable deposit rates in one current rate resource.

Verify before relying
  • The highest ordinary rate is tenure-specific.
  • Non-callable Deposit Plus should not be compared directly with an ordinary callable FD.
  • Loan-against-deposit availability and pricing are separate from the deposit yield.
Verified product relationships

Links the bank explicitly documents.

This section is narrower than the same-bank map below. Every relationship shown here has its own first-party evidence; products merely sharing a bank are not treated as linked.

Can secure Federal credit card

Federal Bank Secured Credit Card

Federal Bank explicitly issues secured credit cards against eligible fixed deposits and currently states a minimum resident FD of ₹25,000 with at least six months tenure.

The FD must be specifically eligible/linked and a lien is marked; the bank retains offer and approval discretion, and the exact card variant controls rewards/fees.Verify relationship at bank ↗
Maintained comparisons

Compare this product only where the pair is deliberately maintained.

Both sides keep independent review dates, exact conditions and first-party evidence. No winner score is generated.

First-party source ledger

Complete evidence set for this maintained profile.

Each source remains independent. A product page, tariff, KFS/MITC, rate schedule or programme document is not silently treated as interchangeable evidence.

Current-use rule

When the bank changes a term after the recorded review, the current agreement, tariff, KFS/MITC or effective rate table controls.

Research boundary

This page organizes dated public evidence; it does not guarantee eligibility, availability, approval, service quality or future pricing.
