Is it necessary for 80C deduction that my fixed deposit should have 5 year locking period if in 3rd yr I encashed it what will be the consequences? Thanks

Yes for deduction u/s 80C FD should be for 5 years. There are specific tax saving FD with lock in period of 5 years. If encashed before 5 years you will have to pay Tax on the entire amount.
