Do I need to submit any physical documents to Close my FD online?
No, if you use the internet or mobile banking for premature closure, you generally don't need to submit any physical documents.

Some FDs might have a minimum stipulated period (e.g., 7 days) before which you cannot Close them. It's essential to refer to your FD's terms and conditions.
Can I partially withdraw my FD amount?
Typically, partial withdrawal of FD isn't allowed. You would have to Close the entire FD and reinvest the amount you don't need to use.

The penalty is generally a percentage deducted from the applicable interest rate for the tenure the FD remained deposited.
Can I Close my tax-saving FD prematurely?
Tax-saving FDs have a lock-in period of 5 years. You cannot Close these FDs before this period.
