Interest Rates

Interest Rates on Axis Bank Fixed Deposit

Interest Rates

Currently, the interest rate on a Fixed Deposit with Axis Bank ranges between 3.5% and 7.75%, depending on the tenure, deposit amount and customer type.

Interest earned on your FD is fixed for the chosen tenure and is calculated based on the interest rate applicable at the time of deposit.

Interest on Fixed Deposits can be credited to your account at different intervals, based on your chosen payout option – monthly, quarterly, or compounding at maturity. With cumulative FDs, interest is compounded quarterly and paid out at the end of the tenure, helping your investment grow faster. In contrast, non-cumulative FDs allow you to receive regular interest payouts to meet periodic income needs.

FD interest rates are reviewed periodically and may change depending on market conditions and bank policies, but once the deposit is made, your rate remains locked in for the entire term.

Tax impact on Fixed Deposit

If you do not provide your PAN, the TDS rate increases to 20%. You can claim a deduction for the TDS paid while filing your income tax return. While some tax-saving FDs offer tax benefits, interest on products like Certificate of Deposit is fully taxable.
