Premature withdrawal rules
According to RBL Bank’s website, if you withdraw your fixed deposit early, either in full or partially, the bank will calculate your interest based on the rate when you first opened the deposit and for the length of time it was kept. However, a 1% penalty will be applied to this rate. The good news is that there’s no penalty for early withdrawal for senior citizens and super senior citizens.
