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

Savers comparing higher mid-tenure bank FD rates who also value monthly/quarterly payout options and the bank's stated senior-citizen premature-closure concession.

Verify before relying
  • The peak rate applies only to specific tenures, not every FD.
  • Overdraft against FD has its own interest and eligibility terms.
  • Tax-saver and green deposits have different lock-in/tenure rules from the ordinary FD.

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 WOW! card

IDFC FIRST WOW! Credit Card

IDFC FIRST Bank's Cardmember Agreement states that the FIRST WOW! Credit Card is issued against a linked fixed deposit on which the bank marks a lien.

This does not mean every ordinary IDFC FIRST FD automatically secures WOW!: an eligible deposit must be specifically linked/created for the secured card, and the lien restricts withdrawal while the card relationship remains active.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.
