Penalty on Premature Withdrawals
IDBI Bank continues to levy a 1 per cent penalty on premature withdrawals. This means if you break your FD before maturity, the interest will be calculated based on the rate applicable on the original date of deposit for the actual tenure completed, and then reduced by 1%. The same rule also applies to partial withdrawals and sweep-ins.
