Change in Interest Calculation Methodology

We would like to inform you about an important update regarding the interest calculation methodology for Fixed Deposits (FDs), effective from 18th August, 2025.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve customer experience, we are updating the way interest is computed on fixed deposits.

What’s Changing?

Quarterly Payout Deposits - Fixed deposits on quarterly payout are computed for interest payout on calendar quarters and TDS deduction (if applicable).

Reinvestment Deposits - Fixed Deposits with reinvestment option are computed interest compounding on anniversary quarters & TDS deduction (if applicable) on calendar quarters.

Going forward, Quarterly Payout Deposits and Reinvestment Deposits booked or renewed post cut-off date will have Interest Payout & TDS Deduction (if applicable) on the anniversary quarter.

(Example If a deposit is booked on 10th July, the interest payout for a quarterly interest payout or reinvestment deposit will be on 10th October i.e. 3 months from the booking date of deposit)

Effective Date:

This change will apply to all new fixed deposits booked on or after 18th August, 2025. Existing FDs will continue under the current methodology until maturity.

Impact on Existing Customers

If you already have an active fixed deposit with us, please note that:

• There will be no change to the interest calculation for your existing FD(s). They will continue to accrue interest as per the original terms agreed upon at the time of booking.
• The updated methodology will only apply to new FDs opened on or after the effective date.
• Upon renewal or reinvestment of your FD after maturity, the new interest calculation method will be applicable.

Terms & Conditions – Interest Calculation and Payout

1. Interest Rate Basis
The customer acknowledges that all interest rates quoted are on a per annum basis. Interest shall be computed using the actual number of days in a year (365 days), irrespective of whether the year is a leap year.

2. Interest Payout and Tax Deduction
Interest payout or compounding, along with Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) where applicable, will occur on the anniversary of each quarter from the date of booking.

3. Quarterly Interest Calculation
Interest will be calculated based on the actual number of days in the respective quarter.

Interest Calculation on Deposits

For Reinvestment Deposits, an anniversary quarter is considered for computing interest on the deposit. The interest amount for each quarter is added back to the principal in the subsequent quarter, and this cycle continues until the date of maturity.

Formula for Interest Calculation:

Interest Amount = Principal Amount × Rate of Interest (ROI) / 365 * Number of Days in an Anniversary Quarter

We assure you that your current investments remain secure and unaffected by this change.
