In a bank FD account, money is deposited for a stated period of time and a fixed interest rate is paid at the end of that period. The interest rates, which vary according to separate maturity baskets across different lenders, are revised from time to time. Last month, private sector lender HDFC Bank revised its fixed deposit interest rates on select maturities.
