FAQs

Are fixed deposits safe in Nepal?

Yes! Deposits up to NPR 5 lakh per person per bank are insured by Deposit & Credit Guarantee Fund. Choose class A, B, or C licensed institutions.

Can I withdraw FD before maturity?

Yes, but you'll pay a penalty (typically 1-2% interest reduction) and lose some interest. Better to plan tenure carefully.

Which bank gives the highest FD rate?

Rates change frequently. Finance companies usually offer highest rates (10-13%), then development banks (9-12%), then commercial banks (7-10%).

Should I choose monthly or quarterly compounding?

Monthly gives slightly better returns, but the difference is small. Quarterly is most common in Nepal.

How is FD interest taxed?

Banks deduct TDS at 5% for individuals. You must include FD interest in your tax return and pay any additional tax based on your bracket.
