Fixed Deposits in ICICI Bank

Recently I was looking for a safe and sound investment for my emergency fund.
As you know, per the rules of Emergency fund, I need to maintain this emergency fund of 3-6 months of my salary or expenses.

I happenned to hit the fixed deposits. I shopped in many banks online for Fixed Deposits. Atlast in ICICI bank, I got for 9.5% interest for one year, which I think is a good deal for an emergency fund.

  • HI,
    Nice article. One info I require is, in FD if it is 9.5% means,example if you invest Rs.100 000, after 390 days will you get 109500.

    any deduction in this

    regards

  • I am sure if it is a big amount, there will be a tax for it!
