PNB HFC has said on its website about premature withdrawals & relevant interest rates that “PNB Housing provides for the provision of premature cancellation of your Fixed deposit. There is a compulsory lock-in for 3 months, after which the fixed deposit can be withdrawn. However, the interest rate charged would be lower than the initial agreed about FD interest rate.”
Premature withdrawals are subject to interest charges of 4% annually if done within six months of the deposit date. Additionally, interest will be charged at a rate that is 1% lower than the FD interest rate that was applicable to public fixed deposits throughout the holding period if premature withdrawals are made after six months.
