Frequently Asked Questions

Before deciding, consider these:

  1. 1. Tax on FD Interest - FD interest is taxable. A withholding tax of ~5-10% will reduce your net gain. Enable the tax option above.
  2. 2. Cash Flow Discipline - Ensure your EMI is comfortably affordable each month without straining your budget.
  3. 3. Early Settlement & Penalties - Some leasing companies levy fees for early lease closure. Check your contract terms.
  4. 4. Inflation - Over time, inflation erodes the real value of fixed deposit returns.
