How to Earn Better Returns by Linking Your FD with Your Savings Account

Posted on Thursday, September 28th, 2023 | By IndusInd Bank

In today’s financial landscape, the adage “saving money is important” remains true, but it’s equally vital to recognize that merely stashing your funds away may not yield optimal results. Investing your money wisely can significantly boost your financial prospects. Two key instruments for achieving this are the Savings Account and the Fixed Deposit (FD). 

Benefits of a Savings Account

A Savings Account offers a secure place to store your money while providing liquidity for everyday expenses. It earns a modest interest, making it an ideal choice for short-term financial goals and emergency funds. 

Benefits of a Fixed Deposit

Fixed Deposits, on the other hand, offer higher interest rates than Savings Accounts and are perfect for those with a long-term perspective on their savings. They provide capital protection and assured returns. 

Here are 5 reasons why you must link your Fixed Deposit with your Savings Account:

1. Enhanced Returns: By linking your FD to your Savings Account, you can earn higher interest on your idle funds. The balance above a certain threshold is automatically converted into an FD, ensuring your money works harder for you. 

2. Automatic Savings: It promotes disciplined savings. Instead of manually transferring funds to an FD, the system does it for you, encouraging consistent savings. 

3. Liquidity: In case of an unforeseen expense, you can withdraw from your Savings Account without breaking the FD, providing the liquidity you need while maintaining your investment. 

4. Ease of Management: The integration of both accounts simplifies financial tracking. You can monitor your savings and investments in one place. 

5. Safety Nets: Linked FDs can act as overdraft facilities or backup funds when your account balance runs low, helping you avoid overdraft charges.
