20 July 2009 If the customer neither obtains payment nor renews the Fixed Deposit although the term is over, it is called an overdue Fixed Deposit. Payment/renewal of overdue Fixed Deposit is governed by following rules.

Renewal is carried out at the rate of interest prevailing on the date of maturity provided overdue period does not exceed 14 days from the date of maturity.

Where overdue period exceeds 14 days, interest would be paid provided the depositor renews the deposit for a further minimum period for which the deposit is lying overdue. If not renewed for a time equal to or more than overdue period, interest rate applicable to Savings Bank deposit is payable on the deposit.

The interest for the overdue period will be paid at the rate prevailing on the date of maturity or on the date of carrying out renewal, whichever is less. This interest may be paid to the depositor or clubbed with the deposit for renewal.
