But when you decide to go for an early exit, things start getting complicated. That&#8217;s when most depositors discover that premature withdrawal isn&#8217;t just a flat penalty on paper; it&#8217;s a recalculation of the entire interest you thought you&#8217;d earn, and the rules differ depending on whether you&#8217;re breaking a bank FD, an NBFC deposit, or a Post Office time deposit. Understanding exactly how the payout is processed and what the TDS and tax implications are can save you from an unpleasant surprise the day you close the account.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/fixed-deposit\/premature-fd-withdrawal-penalties-interest-calculation-tax-impact\/#Premature_FD_withdrawal_in_India_costs_more_than_the_advertised_penalty_Heres_the_real_interest-rate_math_current_bank-wise_charges_how_NBFC_and_Post_Office_deposits_differ_and_the_TDS_and_tax_rules_you_need_to_know_before_you_close_a_deposit_early\" >Premature FD withdrawal in India costs more than the advertised penalty.

Banks can provide this facility under the RBI&#8217;s Master Direction \u2013 Interest Rate on Deposits, 2025, and every bank sets its own penalty through a board-approved policy, which must be clearly communicated to the depositors, typically done through the FD receipt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Worth knowing upfront:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tax-saver FDs (the 5-year, Section 123 lock-in type) are generally not eligible for premature withdrawal except in specific situations, such as the death of the depositor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another preferable option is a loan against the FD, where you would keep the original interest rate and only pay interest on the amount of the loan utilized.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Death of the depositor is an exception in all banks with no exit penalty; the nominee\/legal heir is paid back at the contracted rate of return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Penalty_Is_Actually_Calculated\"><\/span><strong>How the Penalty Is Actually Calculated<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two layers to it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The rate reset: You will not be paid the rate you booked. For example, for HDFC, the payable rate is defined as 1% below whichever is lower: the rate for the original contracted tenor or the rate applicable to the tenor for which you held the deposit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The penalty: The extra 0.5-1% (like the one already included in point 1, for HDFC) further lowers the effective rate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you made a 3-year FD at 7.5% per annum and redeemed it after 12 months. Your booking date rate at the bank was 6.5% for 1 year. Once that 1% penalty is deducted, you make around 5.5% for that duration instead of 7.5%. If you had deposited \u20b95,00,000, then you would have earned only \u20b927,500 in interest instead of the \u20b937,500 earned at the booked rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Premature_FD_Withdrawal_Charges_Major_Banks\"><\/span><strong>Premature FD Withdrawal Charges: Major Banks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Public sector banks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bank<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Penalty \/ Rate Reduction<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Applies When<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SBI<\/td><td>0.50% \/ 1.00%<\/td><td>0.50% for retail term deposits up to \u20b95 lakh;

The interest payable is generally based on the rate applicable to the period for which the deposit was actually held. This can be lower than the rate originally booked for the full tenure.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790062961654\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q3. <strong>What is the premature FD withdrawal penalty?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a reduction or charge applied when an FD is closed before maturity. The exact penalty is bank- and product-specific, so there is no single penalty percentage that applies to every FD.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790062975620\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q4. <strong>Is the premature-withdrawal penalty deducted from the principal?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not necessarily. Banks can structure their penalty as specified in their deposit policy. In many cases, the economic impact is reflected through a lower interest payout rather than a separate deduction from the principal. The individual bank&#8217;s terms should be checked.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790062997369\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q5. <strong>What happens to TDS when an FD is closed early?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">TDS is linked to the interest that is subject to tax and the applicable TDS rules, rather than simply to whether the FD reached maturity. If the bank has deducted TDS, the deduction should be checked against the interest actually reported for the relevant financial year.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790063014410\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q6. <strong>Is interest from a prematurely closed FD taxable?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Generally, yes. Premature closure does not by itself make FD interest tax-free. Interest earned on a taxable bank FD is generally included in taxable income according to the applicable tax rules.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"gpi-custom-widget-box\" style=\"border-left-color: #0066cc; background-color: #f0f7ff;\">\n<div class=\"gpi-custom-widget-title\" style=\"color: #0066cc;\">Ready to Invest?<\/div>\n<div class=\"gpi-custom-widget-content\">\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/\">GoldenPi<\/a> to explore current bond options.
