A Fixed Deposit (FD) is an investment instrument that promises a fixed rate of interest.

Fixed Deposits work on the principle of tenure-based investing. When you invest in a Fixed Deposit, you have the option to choose a tenure (also known as ‘term’). When you select a tenure, say, 1 year or 10 years, you are deciding to block your money for a pre-defined period of time.

Each tenure comes with a pre-determined interest rate. Generally, the longer the tenure, the higher the interest rate will be. Although FDs come with a fixed tenure, you can easily withdraw from it in case of an emergency with penalty. ICICI HFC Fixed Deposits offer a combination of attractive interest rates, liquidity & covers against market volatility.

The growth of your FD investment depends on the applicable interest rate. As a rule of thumb, divide 72 with the applicable rate to calculate the period in which your FD amount will double. For example, if the interest rate on your FD is 7.60%, then the number of years in which your FD investment will double is 9.47 years (72/7.60).

You can use our onlineFD calculatorto calculate the growth of your FD investment.

FDs are a convenient way to start your savings in a safe and secured manner, while earning attractive returns.

Depending on the frequency of the deposit you choose, your minimum deposit amount will be Rs 10,000 for an Annual / Cumulative Income Plan; Rs 20,000 for a Quarterly Income Plan and Rs 40,000 for a Monthly Income Plan.

You have the option of opening a Fixed Deposit in auto closure / auto renew mode under either of the non-cumulative or cumulative schemes. The growth of your FD investment depends on the applicable interest rate and the frequency of interest paid.
