Documents Required to Close an SBI FD

Here are some of the documents required to close a Fixed Deposit (FD) with the State Bank of India (SBI). 

• FD Receipt / Deposit Certificate
• Valid Photo ID Proof such as Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport, or Voter ID
• PAN Card 
• Bank Passbook or Account Details linked to the FD
• Duly filled FD Closure Form

How TDS Is Calculated on FD Interest During Closure

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on SBI Fixed Deposit interest is calculated based on the total interest earned during a financial year, including the interest paid at the time of FD closure. 

A TDS of 10% is deducted if the interest income from your FD exceeds ₹50,000 per annum for general citizens and ₹1,00,000 per annum for senior citizens. TDS rate increases to 20% if PAN is not provided to the bank.

If the total interest earned from all SBI FDs in a financial year exceeds the applicable threshold, SBI deducts TDS on the entire interest amount, not just the excess portion.

• Sign and submit the form at the bank branch.

The bank will process the request and credit the proceeds to your designated account.

Points to Remember-

• Prematurely terminating a deposit account may result in penalties of up to 1% of the fixed deposit interest rate.
• When opening an FD account, the depositor should consider the premature withdrawal penalty and the account closure terms and conditions.
• Non-callable FDs, tax-saving FDs (before the 5-year lock-in period expires), and the SBI Amrit Kalash Deposit Scheme, for example, cannot be closed before maturity.

Conclusion

SBI FD Closure before and after maturity, as discussed above, is a simple process. To close an FD, you must know its maturity date, interest rate, and other key details. Before closing your FD, you should thoroughly study the terms indicated on your deposit certificate. This document covers important information such as the interest rate, maturity date, and any penalties for early closure. It's important to note, however, that early withdrawals from an FD may result in penalties that diminish the income earned. You may close your FD at any time without explaining your actions. To make an informed financial decision, you must be aware of the conditions and any consequences.
