Banks accept Fixed deposits under different schemes, interest on which will be payable either on fixed period or at the time of maturity. If interest is paid at the time of maturity, such interest is calculated on quarterly compounding basis. If the interest is paid on monthly rests, such interest is calculated using discounting factor. In case of Quarterly and half yearly payment of interest no such discounting is done. Formula used for quarterly and half yearly interest calculation is: Amount* No of days*Interest rate/36500
