A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a financial instrument offered by banks and financial institutions, where you invest a lump sum amount for a fixed tenure at a predetermined interest rate. It is considered a safe investment option because it offers guaranteed returns.

Accounting entries for Fixed Deposits are:

When you invest in a Fixed Deposit, you decrease your bank account because you are paying money to the bank. The accounting entry for this transaction is:
Fixed Deposit Account Dr
Bank Account Cr

The bank pays you the interest on your fixed deposit. This interest earned is considered income, so the accounting entry for the interest earned is:
Accrued Interest Dr
Interest on FD Cr

When the fixed deposit matures and you receive the principal amount along with the final interest payment, the accounting entry is:
Bank Account Dr
Fixed Deposit Account Cr
Accrued Interest Cr
