Federal Bank Federal Savings Fund Recurring Deposit

Federal Bank’s Federal Savings Fund recurring-deposit product, with a low published starting instalment, long tenure range and rates linked to the bank’s resident term-deposit schedule.

First-party evidencePublished researchReviewed September 9, 2026Active
Current rate evidenceFederal Bank states that resident term-deposit rates also apply to Federal Savings Fund. The reviewed schedule effective 17 August 2026 includes 6.25%/6.75% at one year and 6.70%/7.20% at 48 months for general/senior.
Instalment / tenureThe product page states a minimum monthly deposit of ₹50 with no stated maximum; contribution-increment wording is inconsistent across sections of the first-party page and should be confirmed at booking.
Missed instalments / premature closureDelayed or missed contributions and premature closure affect value; exact contribution-step rules should be confirmed because the reviewed first-party product page contains conflicting multiples.
Contracted rate / booking conditionFederal Bank explicitly applies its resident term-deposit rates to Federal Savings Fund; the selected tenure controls the contracted RD rate.

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

Recurring 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

Savers who want a low-entry RD with a long tenure range and value the option of a loan/overdraft relationship against the recurring deposit.

Verify before relying
  • The first-party product page conflicts on whether additional instalments must be in multiples of ₹10 or ₹100; the application/branch terms should control.
  • The rate schedule can change for new RDs.
  • Loan/overdraft pricing against an RD is separate from the deposit return.
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.
