22 December 2011 Yes. But it should be 5 year Tax Saving Fixed Deposit. Lock-in-Period is 5 years. Interest income will be taxable.

22 December 2011 For Rate on FD, You have to Enquire in Bank, Since Each Bank Have Their Own Rate, Which May Differ .5%-1% Comparing to Other Bank.
& If You dont Wanna to Go Bank & Ask, U Just Visit Bank WebSite Also, There U Find rates Also.
If U Hav Net Banking Then U Can Do FDR, Online Too. Without Visiting Bank Branch.

22 December 2011 so FD is better or NSC?

22 December 2011 NSC Lock-in-Period reduced to 5 years. rate of Interest raised to 8.40%

FD also has Lock-in-Period of 5 Years.

Interest earned on both are taxable. So if Bank offers more than 8.40% interest it will be better to invest in FD.

You can also get an idea about the interest rates on FD from below link by filling the required details---

22 December 2011 I Think Best Option is NSC if Doing FD for 5 Years Lock in Period.
Since Interest on NSC is Indirectly Not Taxable.Its Allowed as Deduction u/s 80C.
Best to go With NSC. Instead of Doin Tax saving FDR for 5 Years.
