What does the fixed deposit rate in banks mean?

A fixed deposit, often known as an FD, is a bank account offered by banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). An FD account lets you deposit a sizable quantity of money for a specific period at a set interest rate. A Fixed Deposit (FD) is one of the most popular financial tools among the general public in India since it is a safe and dependable investment that pays a greater rate of interest than a standard savings account. You can deposit your money in an FD account for a period of seven days to up to ten years. In India, FD interest rates can range from 3.5 percent to 8%, depending on the duration and amount, among other factors. A fixed deposit's distinguishing feature is that you cannot withdraw your money before maturity unless on payment of a penalty.
