Keeping your savings in a bank account may seem safe, but it is not the best financial strategy to grow your money. When you park your savings in a bank account, your money earns only a minimal interest and loses its value due to inflation and the increasing cost of living. So, it is vital that you invest your savings in schemes like Fixed Deposits (FD) that yield high returns.
FD is one of the safest investment options in India. It safeguards your principal amount and also assures guaranteed returns at a fixed rate of interest, ensuring that your money keeps growing. Thus, FDs are the most practical investment option to grow your money steadily without taking any risks.
You can open an FD account with us at Mahindra Finance and get the most competitive fixed deposit interest rates of up to 8.05% p.a.
At Mahindra Finance, we offer higher interest rates for fixed deposits as compared to other NBFCs, along with the 100% safety and security of your capital, i.e., the principal amount you invest in a fixed deposit account. As an investor, you can invest Rs. 5 Lakh in FD and earn monthly returns.
The 5 Lakh FD interest per month returns you get may vary based on the investment tenure you choose. Generally, you get higher returns if you choose a longer investment term.

While you invest in an FD, it is paramount to understand its tax implications. The monthly interest you get on a Rs. 5 Lakh fixed deposit investment is a taxable income as per the Income Tax Laws. The tax you pay depends on your tax bracket.
The financial organisation would effectively deduct a 10% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) if the annual interest on your fixed deposit of Rs. 5 Lakh is more than Rs. 40,000 (for regular investors) and Rs. 50,000 (for senior citizens). However, if the interest is less than the said amount, there are no tax deductions.
Additionally, if you don’t have a PAN Card, the financial organisation will levy a 20% TDS on the interest earned on Rs. 5 Lakh fixed deposit.
