This discussion clarifies the tax implications of prematurely withdrawing from a 5-year tax-saving Fixed Deposit (FD). Tax-saving FDs typically have a mandatory 5-year lock-in period, meaning they cannot be withdrawn early, borrowed against, or used as overdrafts. If an individual has claimed a deduction under Section 80C for such an FD and then attempts to break it prematurely, it is generally not permitted. The core point is that breaking a tax-saving FD before maturity is not an option.
