What the numbers say about a ₹5 lakh FD for 1 year
At an assumed 7% compounded quarterly (7.19% effective), ₹5 lakh in a bank FD becomes ₹5.36 L after 1 year. Interest is ₹35,930, or 7% of the maturity amount. Banks quote different rates by tenure and by customer, so use the rate on your receipt.
The first year earns ₹35,930. If you would rather have monthly income than growth, the same deposit pays ₹2,917 a month, and the total interest drops to ₹35,000, ₹930 less than letting it compound.
Tax is the quiet cost. At the 30% slab, ₹10,779 of the interest goes in tax and you keep ₹25,151, which is an after-tax yield of 5.03% a year. Against 6% inflation the real return is 1.12% before tax and -0.91% after it.
The ₹5.36 L you receive buys what ₹5.06 L buys today at 6% inflation. Staying a year longer, to 2 years, adds ₹38,511, which is 7.2% of the current maturity value.
This is an estimate at an assumed rate. Your bank may compound differently, deduct tax at source and treat odd tenures in its own way, so compare its quote with the figures here.
